An editorial is presented which addresses primary repair of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and it mentions decision making by orthopaedic surgeons, open ACL surgery, and ACL reconstruction procedures. Outcomes for patients with proximal ACL tears are examined, along with arthroscopic primary ACL repair, re-injury and failure rates, and other treatment techniques.
