Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common injuries to the knee. With recent improvements in imaging that allow for more precise identification of ACL tear patterns, improved techniques for repair, and advancements in biological augmentation, there has been a re-emerging interest in primary ACL repair, especially for acute proximal ACL tears. This article aims to describe a surgical technique for primary ACL repair using a re-tensionable all-suture-based construct.
