The use of suture tape as a ligament augmentation in both ACL reconstruction and ACL repair offers more strength, less elongation or displacement, and is biomechanically stable and sound. There is a lack of data to comprehensively comment upon the clinical superiority of the use of internal augmentation. However, a meta-analysis of the retear rates and clinical outcome score revealed similar outcomes between suture tape augmented and nonaugmented groups.
