Excerpt

We would like to thank Van Dyck for his valuable comment regarding our article on the predictive role of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the eligibility of arthroscopic primary repair in Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy [14]. In our study, it was concluded that preoperative MRI can inform patients on the likelihood of performing arthroscopic primary repair of proximal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. …
