Brief summary
The All-inside method is a new minimally invasive procedure for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL). It consists of incomplete bone tunnels drilling and cortical fixation. In the so-called classical method, the fixation is achieved with interference screws. The hypothesis of this study was that the All-inside technique causes less pain than the conventional technique. The main objective was to evaluate the immediate postoperative pain for the first ten days and at one month from the intervention.
