Is Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction “Silva Technique” Equal to All-Inside Techniques? A Prospective Single-Center Study

Abstract

Conclusions: Bone autograft employed to seal the tibial tunnel was completely incorporated in all cases 1 year postoperatively. The “Silva technique” appears to feature all the avails of all-inside techniques, whilst it seems to be simpler and easier than them after the surgeon is familiarized with its particular aspects. It is a robust option in orthopedic surgeons’ arsenal. However, further large-scale pertinent research is requisite to confirm the findings of this study.
