a Anterior cruciate ligament tear was made from the femoral-side insertion. Schematic drawing of each repair method: b Single stitch: passing one No. 0 polydioxanone (PDS) from the medial to lateral direction on the mid-substance of the ACL remnant, (c) Loop stitch: passing one suture loop through the mid-portion of the remnant, and the free ends of the suture were retrieved through the loop, and (d) Triple stitch: stitches were formed sequentially in the medial to lateral, anterior to posterior, and medial to lateral directions on the mid-substance portion of the remnant
