Abstract

The basic treatment for unstable knees due to ACL injury is ACL reconstruction using tendon or the other soft tissue grafts. In the United States, it is estimated that more than 175,000 ACL reconstructions are performed annually. It is one of the seven most frequently-performed orthopedic operative procedures in Japan.
