Anterior cruciate ligament repair versus reconstruction: A kinematic analysis

The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) anatomic repair of a true femoral avulsion to an anatomic ACL reconstruction. It was hypothesized that the ACL repair and ACL reconstruction would have comparable biomechanical behavior when compared to the native knee.
