ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of repairing tears or ruptures in an anterior cruciate ligament of the human knee, by reattaching the ligament to its anatomic insertion site on the intercondylar notch of the femur using a suture anchor, with healing at the insertion site being enhanced by formation of a cancellous bleeding bed.
