Abstract

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common ligament injuries in athletes. The arthroscopic ACL reconstruction procedure is the gold standard for treatment. However, the improvement in injury classification and suture materials has subsequently made arthroscopic ACL primary repair an alternative surgical treatment option. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic ACL primary repair with synthetic augmentation made of several high-strength sutures and fixation with the knotless suture anchor. The reinforced synthetic material acts as a structural tie to support the ACL while it heals.
