Adjustable loop ACL suspension devices demonstrate less reliability in terms of reproducibility and irreversible displacement

The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive biomechanical examination of frequently applied femoral cortical suspension devices, comparing the properties of both fixed and adjustable fixation mechanisms. It was hypothesized that adjustable loop devices demonstrate less consistent fixation properties with increased variability compared to fixed loop devices. Nine frequently applied fixation button types were tested, six adjustable and...
