Abstract
With the recent resurgence of primary anterior cruciate ligament repair, it is important to strive for optimal patient outcomes. This knotless primary repair procedure takes advantage of the use of an adjustable loop device, which allows for intraoperative retensioning by the surgeon. This technical advancement combined with augmentation with an internal brace could potentially minimize gap formation at the repair site, thereby increasing repair stability and ultimate outcome.
