Controversies in ACL reconstruction: bone-patellar tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction remains the gold standard.

Controversy exists regarding the best surgical technique and graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. No technique or graft currently recreates the complex nature of the native ligament. Reconstruction with single-bundle bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft with interference screw fixation has superior results, using the following criteria, compared with the results of other reconstructive techniques.

FasT-Fix versus inside-out suture meniscal repair in the goat model.

Background: Recent all-inside meniscal repair devices are available, but in vivo studies with these devices are sparse.

Hypothesis: The FasT-Fix has inferior meniscal healing compared with the inside-out suture technique in the goat model.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
