Primary surgical treatment of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures: A long-term follow-up study
Abstract
We reviewed 52 patients who underwent primary sur gical repair of their acutely injured ACL using a multiple loop, varying depth suture technique. The average fol lowup was 6 years and 10 months. Nine patients (17%) were considered as having failed repairs, with failure based on the presence of clinical instability (giving way) with sports participation and a positive Lachman test and/or pivot shift maneuver. In addition, of 26 patients in whom KT-1000 (MEDmetric Corp., San Diego, CA) measurements were performed, 42% were found to have abnormal laxity. Although using multiple sutures in primary repair of the anterior cruciate may work in some patients, it is an unpredictable operative proce dure and resulted in a 17% failure rate in our study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
