The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in ACL injury treatment in the last decade especially the graft choice. The abstracts of a total of 2,622 papers which stated ACL in the title were investigated through a search on the Web of Knowledge. Main topics were created as the ACL reconstruction theme. ACL reconstruction was examined in the abstracts with graft choice as the main theme followed by single bundle, double bundle, sports, rehabilitation, revision, complication, skeletally immature, biomechanics and kinematics, fixation devices, meniscus, anesthesia and pain, tunnel, cell, and intra-articular injection. Of the total 2,622 documents, 2,129 were original articles and 181 were reviews. Most of the documents, 436 in number (...Continue Reading
