Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) healing through analyzing clinical, radiographic, functional and patient-reported outcomes following ACL reconstruction with bone-tendon-bone autograft with and without internal bracing.

Conditions

  • ACL Reconstruction

Interventions

DEVICE

Arthrex Internal Brace

The Arthrex Internal Brace method for ACL reconstruction consists of suture tape used to reinforce the ACL during surgery. This suture tape is secured in place with bioabsorbable anchors that gradually degrade within the body over time.

PROCEDURE

ACL Reconstruction

All patients will undergo ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with or without an internal brace. ACLR technique will be standardized to standard anteromedial (AM) portal femoral drilling to ensure consistency between surgeons.
