Suture-augmented anterior cruciate ligament repair leads to comparable short-term function but a modestly higher re-rupture risk than anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A systematic review and meta-analysis

October 3, 2025

Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of the current literature on the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture with suture-augmented ACL repair (SA-ACLRep) compared to the gold standard ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The meta-analysis was designed to provide clinical outcomes, including re-rupture rates (as primary end point), knee stability, functional…
