Complete ACL tear
Hello Doctor,
My husband has a right knee ACL tear, 2 weeks before. We are suggested for arthoscopy. But we are confused about the technology to be used. Some suggest all internal traditional Arthoscopy and others arthoscopy with fibre wire/thread. Please suggest advance technology.

Your husband will.need an arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using his hamstring tendons.
Because of h
is weight I would recommend using an additional support called the fibre tape.
