  • Identification of critical variables for successful knee stability and function restoration.

    • Main Results:

    • Endoscopic ACL reconstruction avoids patellar dislocation and large incisions, reducing soft tissue trauma.
    • Key success factors include graft selection, precise placement, adequate tension, secure fixation, and rehabilitation.
    • Graft fixation failure is identified as the predominant cause for failures within six months post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic ACL reconstruction presents significant advantages in patient recovery and cost-effectiveness.
    • Optimizing graft fixation is crucial for improving early outcomes in ACL reconstruction.
    • Continued research into surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols is essential for consistent success rates.
