Summary

The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of implanting the Tavor ACL prosthesis in patients with a ruptured ACL by improvement of healing kinetics as well as major adverse treatment events (AEs). it is designed to test the hypothesis that there is a difference in healing kinetics of ACL deficient knees treated by ACL reconstruction using autografts and those in which such procedure was performed with the Tavor prosthesis.
