Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair Using a Knotless Suture Implant.

ABSTRACT: Recent orthopedic literature has shown that primary repair for femoral-sided avulsion tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can be successful. Primary ACL repair avoids invasive reconstruction techniques, graft-site morbidity, and the loss of native anatomy while producing excellent results in appropriately selected patients. Here we describe our patient selection parameters, ACL repair technique, and rehabilitation protocol.
