NY Times: Doctors experiment with new ways to fix the ACL
Martha Murray an outstanding researcher is getting closer to repairing ACLs without having to graft them.

Avoiding using a graft and maintaining the native ACL would be a major step forward for the care of the ACL injured patient. I look forward to her upcoming randomized trial.
