Advantages and Disadvantages of Double-Bundle Repair of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament With Internal Brace Augmentation and a Knotless Suture Implant
Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|
Maintains the anatomical structure of the ACL and proprioceptive sensation | Possible stress shielding of repaired ACL |
Enhances the mechanical properties of the repaired ACL and protects repaired ACL during the healing process | Potential for overconstraining the joint |
Allows for accelerated rehabilitation | There is a certain degree of technical difficulty, and a certain learning curve is needed. |
The bone mass and ACL stump are preserved, providing conditions for ACL reconstruction after failed ACL repair. | It is necessary to take enough ACL remnant to avoid failure. |
