To investigate the hypothesis that suture repair of a ruptured vkb, combined with a dynamic intraligamentary stabilization and microfracture of the femoral notch, results in at least equal effectiveness compared with an ACL reconstruction using autologous hamstring in terms of functional recovery one year postoperatively in terms of a patient self-reported outcome related to be able to conduct daily and sporting activities. Secondary, the evaluation of clinical outcomes, self-reported by the patient outcomes, osteoarthritis, rehabilitation time required for return to daily and sporting activities and levels of sporting activity which has returned in patients with status after an ACL rupture and suture repair augmented with a dynamic intraligamentary microfracture and stabilization of the femoral notch in comparison with an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the ipsilateral hamstring graft.
