Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common types of sports injuries. People’s need to participate in sports and desire for a high quality of life promotes the continuous development of ACL reconstruction technology. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction has been recognized as an effective method for the treatment of ACL injuries. This review analyses and summarizes the advantages and limitations of each surgical procedure for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction reported in the relevant literature so as to promote the future development of more relevant techniques.
Core Tip: In the past 50 years, with the improvement of the understanding of knee anatomy and its injury mechanism, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery has developed rapidly. The fixation methods are reviewed in order to provide reference for the treatment of preclinical cruciate ligament injuries.
