Abstract
Current treatment modalities for anterior cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears rel
y on the use of grafts for reconstruction. Treatment can be divided into th
ree categories: autografts, allografts, and synthetic graft replacements. T
he varied success rates and associated advantages and disadvantages of each
method have resulted in controversy as to the best treatment for ACL injur
ies.
