Summary
This study looked at 48 active adults aged 18-30 with a first-time ACL tear. It compared a newer surgical repair method (using stitches and a special stabilization device) to the standard reconstruction using a hamstring tendon graft. The goal was to see if the repair works just as well for daily and sports activities one year after surgery. Researchers also checked knee function, arthritis risk, and recovery time.
