Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common and are increasing in frequency. While treatment has evolved, outcomes such as re-rupture and return to play still leave significant room for improvement. The native ACL contains mechanoreceptors located in the tibial and femoral footprints. These proprioceptive sensors are sacrificed in ACL reconstructions, leading to long-standing proprioceptive deficits. ACL repair potentially allows the chance of preservation of proprioception, while simultaneously restoring mechanical stability to the knee.
