Video Summary
The presentation discussed the resurgence of ACL repair, focusing on internal bracing as a future technique. Historically abandoned due to poor outcomes from open procedures and weak fixation, recent advances in biology and internal bracing have improved results, especially for proximal tears in younger, skeletally immature patients treated early. Biological augmentations enhance tissue healing but lack mechanical stability, highlighting the need for structural support via internal bracing. Studies show repaired ACLs with internal bracing yield better mechanical strength and faster healing. The speaker emphasized ongoing research and potential applications of internal bracing beyond the knee, praising collaborators and expressing optimism about its future.
