The purpose of this study was to assess outcomes of arthroscopic ACL repair in a larger cohort and to assess the role of additional augmentation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The first 56 consecutive patients that underwent arthroscopic ACL repair were examined at minimum 2\u2010year follow\u2010up. The latter 27 patients [48.2% (27\/56)] received additional internal bracing with ACL repair. All 56 patients were included (100% follow\u2010up). Mean age at surgery was 33.5\u2009\u00b1\u200911.3 years (59% male) and mean follow\u2010up 3.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.7 years. Clinical examination was performed using the objective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) form. Subjective outcomes were obtained using the Lysholm, modified Cincinnati, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and subjective IKDC scores.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Six repairs (10.7%) failed and four additional patients underwent reoperation (7.1%): two for meniscus tears and two for suture anchor irritation. Objective IKDC scores were A in 38 (73%), B in 8 (15%) and C\/D in 6 (12%) patients. Mean Lysholm score was 94\u2009\u00b1\u20097.6, modified Cincinnati 94\u2009\u00b1\u20098.9, SANE 90\u2009\u00b1\u200912.5, pre\u2010injury Tegner 6.7\u2009\u00b1\u20091.5, current Tegner 6.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.5, and subjective IKDC 90\u2009\u00b1\u200910.9. Failures rates were 7.4% with and 13.8% without internal bracing (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.672).
