a
At 2 years, three BEAR patients had had a second ACL surgery less than 6 months prior and a pivot shift examination was not performed as per the study protocol.
b
IKDC Overall computed for patients with complete data for components, ligament based on worst of Lachman and Pivot Shift Examination.
ACL, anterior cruciate ligament; BEAR, bridge-enhanced ACL repair.
