There are some vids on Youtube addressing this. I'm using the epoxy pack that Simpson[ the company that makes a lot of structure components for construction] makes for this purpose. There are other companies too. I got this off Amazon since the local stores did not carry it. Its a liquid low viscosity material that you pump into the crack using a caulking gun. The fun part for me is backstopping the fill to keep it from oozing out. I purposely did't lay on the epoxy paste like they say as my foundation has a lot of it above ground and didn't want the repair area to be see. A basement should be a breeze as its backfilled on the one side.

Ive used stuff from Emecole to seal up a crack in my basement concrete walls. Works well. Watched a few videos and applied the stuff. It expands and sealed up any issue I had. This doesn't "blend" in very well unless you work the stuff afterward or hide it behind a framed wall. https://emecole.com/diy-basement-wall-crack-repair/
