Prospective randomized clinical comparison of femoral transfixation versus bioscrew fixation in hamstring tendon ACL reconstruction—a preliminary report

Abstract

We disproved our hypothesis that the transfixation technique leads to less laxity and therefore to a better clinical outcome when compared to the use of BS. The clinical results in this study clarified that this technique is an effective and safe method for femoral hamstring fixation in ACL-reconstruction. However, this technique revealed no advantage compared to the bioscrew fixation technique within the short-term follow-up.
