ABSTRACT
The use of suture tape for soft tissue reinforcement during anterior cruciate ligament surgery is amassing science from translational models to bench biomechanical studies and now clinical outcomes. Suture tape reinforcement is not a synthetic ligament replacement. The primary goal of adding suture tape is for anterior cruciate ligament graft protection during the healing and remodeling phase, especially in young, active patients, to minimize the risk of graft retears. Accepting new techniques requires critical review of available science, as well as an inherent belief that there always is a better way. New technology supported by foundational scientific evidence and focused medical education is essential for successful clinical outcomes.
