Abstract

Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) often occurs in conjunction with meniscal tears. In this study, we investigate the rates and outcomes of meniscal repair surgery performed with ACL reconstruction compared with acute ACL repair surgery. Data was collected for all patients undergoing surgery for ACL ruptures between 2012 and 2018, including ACL reconstruction with hamstring autograft and primary ACL repair augmented with suture tape. Patients undergoing multi-ligament surgery were excluded. Meniscal injury was evaluated intraoperatively and the treatment was determined by type of tear, reducibility, and quality of meniscal tissue. If possible, tears were repaired using all-inside anchors and all others were resected. There were 272 ACL reconstructions and 134 ACL repairs, and mean age was 28 (±9) and 35 (±14) years, respectively (p
