ACL repair offer several potential advantages over ACL reconstruction (including quicker rehabilitation, less invasive surgery, reduced operative time, avoidance of donor site morbidity, better proprioception, better forgotten joint scores and the simplicity of revision to ACL reconstruction if the repair fails). This study compares the clinical outcomes of ACL Repair vs Reconstruction. It demonstrates several advantages of ACL repair including superior muscle strength at 6 months, and significantly better forgotten joint scores (FJS-12 scores) as well as non-inferiority with respect to knee laxity parameters and the IKDC score.
