Among these potential scenarios requiring a two-stage revision, tunnel-widening is the most common cause; the first stage involves graft removal, tunnel curettage, and bone grafting, followed by revision ACL reconstruction in the second stage. Major reasons to proceed with a two-stage strategy include tunnel-widening or other loss of bone stock, tunnel malposition, arthrofibrosis, active infection, concomitant meniscal deficiency, malalignment, and focal chondral lesions and/or other ligamentous laxity that may require a staged approach [8, 9] (Table1). 2018 Apr-Jun;9(2):116-120. doi: 10.1016/j.jcot.2018.02.010.

An Observational Study Using Navigated Measurements Lateral tibial posterior slope is increased in patients with early graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. performed a CT scan at 4months to assess healing of the bone graft in the tibial tunnel. Tunnel malpositioning that will interfere with new revision reconstruction tunnel placement can reduce graft apposition within the tunnels at the time of graft fixation, thereby placing the graft stability and subsequent incorporation at greater risk of failure [11]. They observed that revision ACLR in combination with ALL reconstruction significantly reduced rotational laxity and showed a higher rate of return to the same level of sports activity than revision ACLR alone, although there were no significant differences in anterior laxity or functional test results between the two groups. Knee stability and graft function following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Comparison between 11 o'clock and 10 o'clock femoral tunnel placement. Unfortunately, both previous reconstructions were performed with allograft (cadaver) tissue, which has been shown to have significantly higher failure rates in young patients compared with autograft (the patient's own tissue).
