ACL repair vs. reconstruction: a meta-analysis of outcomes across different tear characteristics

ACL repair vs. reconstruction: a meta-analysis of outcomes across different tear characteristics

Abstract Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains the gold standard but carries donor-site morbidity and prolonged recovery. Modern ACL repair techniques theoretically preserve native proprioception and enable faster rehabilitation. We hypothesized that modern ACL repair wo...
