Arthroscopic Primary Repair of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)

"All patients (in both groups) will undergo diagnostic knee arthroscopy at the start of the procedure; those in the experimental arm repairable ACL tear, whose ACL found to be avulsed from its femoral insertion or has a proximal tear, and intra-operatively, found to have a good tissue quality, will undergo arthroscopic ACL primary repair using fiberwires and SwiveLock screw to anchor the ligament into its origin, in the femoral condyle."

Patients whose ACL cannot be repaired, will undergo arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendons.
