[Biodegradable screw versus a press-fit bone plug fixation for ACL reconstruction: a prospective randomized study].
Press-fit fixation of a tendon graft has been advocated in order to achieve tendon to bone healing. ⋯ Both interference screw and a press-fit fixation lead to a high number of good or very good outcomes after ACL reconstruction. Tibial press-fit fixation decreases the amount of proximal bone tunnel enlargement. Press-fit fixation decreases the amount of proximal bone tunnel enlargement and improves bone to tendon contact.
