Three cases were discussed, the results of the surveys were recorded, and a post\u2010case discussion followed to reach a consensus during the case resolutions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty\u2010nine participants replied to the surveys during the symposium's \u2018Repair versus Reconstruction\u2019 session. For acute, complete, proximal ACL tears (modified Sherman classification I) in active patients older than 50 years, 34% of the participants would treat nonoperatively, 61% of the participants would treat with ACLR, and 5% of the participants would treat with primary ACL repair. For the same case in a 17\u2010year\u2010old patient, 3% of the participants would treat non\u2010operatively, 90% of the participants would treat with ACLR, and 7% of the participants would treat with primary ACL repair. Bone\u2010patellar tendon\u2010bone autograft was most commonly selected for young patients (51%), while allografts were used in older patients (13.5%), and synthetic grafts were rarely considered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Consensus was achieved on ACLR as the standard of care for young patients (90%). Treatment choices in patients over 50 years were more variable (61% ACLR, 34% non\u2010operative and 5% ACL repair). Based on the survey results, ACL repair remains a procedure with limited indications. Future clinical research is necessary to understand long\u2010term clinical outcomes of ACL repair and to compare the clinical efficacy of ACL repair with ACLR or non\u2010operative
