Background: Due to the low potential for primary biological healing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the most popular approach is currently reconstruction using a graft. Recent research indicates that the technique of strengthening a damaged ligament with synthetic tapes (internal bracing) may be an alternative to reconstructive treatment, especially in cases of partial ACL damage.

Objectives: To compare and evaluate the possibility of using a synthetic graft (Neoligaments or FiberTape) to treat partial lesions of the ACL.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the prevailing procedure in cases of ACL rupture.

Objectives: To assess the long-term safety of implementing a synthetic ligament with the Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS) in primary reconstruction of the ACL.

Materials And Methods: The retrospective analysis involved 403 patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction with the same results in clinical and functional assessments.
