When your doctor advised you to go for ACL surgery most common problem which a patient feels is how to choose screw or implant. Basically ACL reconstruction is done by fixing graft on both sides of the bony ends. Most doctors used a combination of Bio screw and endobuttons. Some doctor used all inside where both side endo buttons are used. You can discuss with your doctor. I would prefer Bioscrew on one side and endobutton on one side. This gives a very strong construct.
Bio screw has this unique ability to change itself into calcium in 2 years time. So I prefer Bio screw. There is no need to remove this screw so the patient is fit after one surgery and there is no need to do a repeat surgery. It is always better to discuss with your doctor about the need for screws and implant.
Some time your doctor may feel need to use some extra implants or screw during surgery. This can happen if he finds that there is some extra ligament or meniscus problem which was not there in MRI report or on clinical examination.
