Abstract

Background and objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of tape reinforcement in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions, recording complications, as well as the rate of reinterventions and graft failure. Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of ACL reconstructions with hamstring (HS) autograft that were reinforced with high-strength tape. We included patients in whom we obtained a graft of HS <8 mm or ≥8 mm of poor quality. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and previous activity were recorded. Clinical and functional evaluation were
