Abstract
Numerous ways to attach an anterior cruciate ligament avulsion from tibial eminence have been devised, and this report is the first of its kind to describe an easy but effective way of passing nonabsorbable braided sutures through the substance of the anterior cruciate ligament and hold down the avulsed bone fragments by tying knots over a bone bridge.
