Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Internal BraceExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will undergo ACL Reconstruction (ACLR) with an internal brace. At 6 months post-operation patients will fill out clinical outcome surveys. At the routine 1 year postoperative visit, all patients will fill out clinical outcome surveys and undergo MRI evaluation of the knee.
Group II: Standard ACLRActive Control1 Intervention
Patients will undergo ACLR without an internal brace. At 6 months post-operation patients will fill out clinical outcome surveys. At the routine 1 year postoperative visit, all patients will fill out clinical outcome surveys and undergo MRI evaluation of the knee.
