  "abstract": "As suspensory fixation techniques for anterior cruciate ligament grafts gain popularity, so does the need to troubleshoot when intraoperative complications arise. A compromised lateral femoral cortex that cannot support the suspensory fixation is a complex intraoperative complication that can lead to graft failure. During these situations, an extender button is often used via a secondary incision. The technique described in this article allows for intra-articular passage of the extender button without the need for a secondary incision using 2-0 Vicryl sutures to attach the extender button to the suspensory button prior to graft passage. This cost-effective method can decrease operative time and potentially decrease postoperative pain and wound complications by foregoing the need for a second incision.",
