For some authors, repair of the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in selected patients can be considered a valuable surgical treatment option. One of the main advantages is that it leaves all grafts available for any type of reconstruction in case the repair fails. This Technical Note describes arthroscopic ACL reconstruction after failure of an ACL repair.
