Go for arthrex tightrope endobutton with bioabsorbable screw. .this one is best in the market. Suppose if president trump also have acl tear then he will be fixed with this only.
Second choice is Smith n nephew.
But I recommend you to go for arthrex ..I use this only at apollo spectra.
There is two type of surgery..1) single bundle 2) double bundle..
