Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair using internal bracing: a prospective case series of twenty-nine patients
Arthroscopy Feb 16, 2021
Burton DA, Schaefer EJ, Shu HT, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes of patients who had undergone primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair utilizing suture tape augmentation. Researchers enrolled patients with a proximal tear of the ACL who had undergone primary ACL repair with a minimum two-year-follow-up. They recorded demographics, injury patterns, concomitant injury patterns, and patient-reported outcome measures. Individuals were assessed at a minimum two-year follow-up for clinical success, characterized as stability not requiring revision ACL reconstruction, and for patient-reported outcome measurements. This study’s findings illustrated that primary surgical repair of proximal ACL tears using suture tape augmentation results in a low rate of revision surgery.
