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.
