Successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and meniscal repair in osteogenesis imperfecta. (mattioli1885journals.com)

1 in every 3,000 American ruptures their ACL and between 100,000 and 300,000 reconstruction surgeries will be performed each year in the United States. (wikipedia.org)

Graft options for ACL reconstruction include: Autografts (employing bone or tissue harvested from the patient's body). (wikipedia.org)
One option is to repair the patient's own existing ligaments with stitches. (footcaremd.org)
