A Technique of Arthroscopic Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Polyester Suture Tape Augmentation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Restoring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) function after a rupture is critical for reducing long-term knee damage. Primary reconstruction is well established as a golden standard for treatment of complete ACL tear. Nevertheless, carefully selected patients can substantially benefit from a primary repair in comparison to reconstruction. We present a technique of arthroscopic primary ACL repair with polyester suture tape augmentation. Our method expands the spectrum of ACL repair techniques by creating a comfortable pulley-like system of tensioning the ligament and suture tape with a cortical button-suture construct.
