An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common ligament injuries in athletes. The arthroscopic ACL reconstruction procedure is the gold standard for treatment. However, the improvement in injury classification and suture materials has subsequently made arthroscopic ACL primary repair an alternative surgical treatment option. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic ACL primary repair with synthetic augmentation made of several high-strength sutures and fixation with the knotless suture anchor. The reinforced synthetic material acts as a structural tie to support the ACL while it heals.
前交叉韧带(ACL)撕裂是运动员中最常见的韧带损伤之一。关节镜下ACL重建手术是治疗的金标准。然而,随着损伤分类和缝合材料的改进,关节镜下ACL一期修复成为一种替代性的手术治疗选择。本技术说明描述了一种使用多根高强度缝线制成的合成增强材料进行关节镜下ACL一期修复,并使用无结缝线锚钉进行固定的方法。增强的合成材料在ACL愈合过程中起到结构性纽带的作用,以支持ACL。
