Darwin defined Evolution: Progression without planning

Our teachers and mentors laid the foundation on the basis of which we are able to understand and perform successfully ACL reconstruction. The true journey to treat ACL tear started in mid-seventies and eighties when surgical options were either primary ACL repair or reconstruction. With advances in arthroscopic equipment favoring more toward reconstruction the interest towards primary ACL repair was lost.

By revisiting early 80’s literature it gave more in-depth scientific data showing promising result of primary ACL repair in selected group of patients. We have seen huge interest especially in the last five years toward various techniques on primary ACL repair being published. In the past 12 months 8 systematic review have been published on primary ACL repair. The most important question is does the torn ACL has potential to heal? can we save the ACL ? if you are interested in this topic then come and join us to learn from histology of ACL tissue in my journey of primary ACL repair
