Table 11 The detailed results of direct pair-wise meta-analyses between primary repair (PR) with augmentation and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
| Comparison (PR with augmentation vs ACLR) | No. of trials | No. of patients | Heterogeneity, I2 | Effect index | Effect size |

| Functional improvement | 4 | 335 | 0.00% | SMD (95% CI) | −0.042 (−0.302 to 0.218) |
| Activity improvement | 5 | 461 | 67.50% | SMD (95% CI) | 0.278 (0.068 to 0.488) |
| Laxity | 5 | 461 | 0.00% | WMD (95% CI) | 0.18 (−0.081 to 0.442) |
| Failure | 3 | 200 | 0.00% | RR (95% CI) | 0.535 (0.221 to 1.296) |
