Adjustable-loop devices (ALDs) were secured to the graft (n = 6 per group) with a combination implant containing the ALD and suture tape-reinforced whipstitching (tape-reinforced [TR] group), tethered superficially to the graft with a whipstitch (onlay [OL] group), luggage-tagged through and around the graft (luggage tag [LT] group), or staggered behind superficial suturing (staggered [SG] group).

Cyclic elongation was below the 3.0-mm threshold defined as clinical failure for TR (1.6 mm), but not for OL (3.3 mm), LT (7.9 mm), and SG (11.3 mm). All constructs were within native ACL stiffness limits (220 \u00b1 72 N\/mm) without significant differences. Ultimate loads significantly exceeded a normal ACL loading limit of 454 N for TR (739 N; P = .023), OL (547 N; P = .020), and LT (769 N; P = .001), but not for SG (346 N; P = .236).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The TR ALD construct demonstrated the most favorable time-zero biomechanical properties of modern soft tissue QT suspensory constructs, with 32% less tension loss and 52% less cyclic elongation versus the closest construct.
