Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair gains interest owing to modern techniques and new devices. This review aims to examine the current scientific level of proof behind the primary repair option. New techniques in primary repair of ACL have been introduced following the notion that the ruptured ligament is capable of healing. Dynamic intraligamentary stabilization (DIS) is one of the most commonly preferred methods among primary repair options. A more prominent influencer of clinical results other that the repair option is the selection criteria of patients. Patient selection criteria not only include the tear morphology, but also patients` functional status and demographical features. This review examined various repair techniques and, specifically DIS method, clinical researches on it, and repair specific basic science researches. In the light of the currently available scientific proof, DIS has a prominent space in a correctly selected patient group. Future independent, comparative and randomized studies with larger cohorts will effect its place as an option in addressing ACL injuries.
