Biodegradable implants are absorbed  by the body, usually after need is over. Their long term side effects are awaited.

There are three types one is steel,titanium, and bioabsorable both steel and titanium are not absorbed in bone after few years but bioabsorable will absorb into bone after few years but when you compare strength bioabsorable is good and if any revision surgery after somany years bio screw is helpful

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..
