Abstract

Age at the time of ACLR surgery is a strong risk factor for revision ACLR. Other risk factors for revision ACLR, such as graft type, sex, race, and BMI, may vary in strength and significance over a patient's life. Understanding the age-related risk factors associated with revision ACLR may help with appropriate patient counseling and optimal graft choice when performing ACLR.
