Different femoral fixation techniques in reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament

Abstract

We read the original article entitled “Comparison of different methods of femoral fixation anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (1) in the issue of Acta Med Iran 2013;51(7):444-8, with great interest. We would like to commend the authors for their clinically relevant work. However, we believe that some important additional comments and observations seem necessary to be contributed through this study. In this article, the authors has stated that, they found only one study in which Uribe et al., studied posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with AperFix and to the best of their knowledge, their study was the only study comparing Endobutton, Rigidfix and Aperfix with each other. Nevertheless, we would like to call the attention of the readers to the fact that that there are several other studies referring this technique.
