Abstrakt: Introduction. There are various methods of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction of which the two main choices in autograft reconstruction involve the use of the bone-patella tendon-bone or hamstring graft. Femoral fixation can be divided into three main types: cortical suspensory devices such as Endobutton (Smith & Nephew, Arthrex), interference screws, and femoral transfixation devices such as Transfix (Arthrex) and Rigidfix (Depuy-Mitek). The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome between Rigidfix, Transfix and Endobutton devices for soft tissue femoral fixation in primary ACL reconstruction using the autogenous hamstring graft.
