Table 12 The detailed results of direct pair-wise meta-analyses between primary repair (PR) without augmentation and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
| Comparison (PR without augmentation vs ACLR) | No. of trials | No. of patients | Heterogeneity, I2 | Effect index | Effect size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Functional improvement | 3 | 146 | 92.30% | SMD (95% CI) | 0.195 (−0.437 to 0.827) |
| Activity improvement | 2 | 126 | 0.00% | WMD (95% CI) | −0.109 (−0.461 to 0.242) |
| Laxity | 6 | 306 | 36.50% | SMD (95% CI) | −0.03 (−0.341 to 0.280) |
| Failure | 4 | 243 | 43.10% | RR (95% CI) | 1.638 (0.658 to 4.078) |
