Abstract
When it comes to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and surgery, age is a proxy for early return to strenuous sports. In addition, premature return to sport is a risk factor for reinjury after ACL surgery. Thus, when considering ACL suture repair as an alternative to ACL graft reconstruction, we must consider that failure rates may be influenced by patient demographic variables, particularly age and activity. In the end, treatment options for young patients who are highly active and eager to make a timely return to sport after ACL injury require careful evaluation.
