Abstract

Objectives: The incidence of second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and return to sport (RTS) in a young, active population is likely between 25-33% with the greatest risk in the first 12 months after RTS. Although the use of allograft tissue in young athletes has been reported to result in increased risk of graft failure, differences in graft and contralateral ACL injury risk between patients who receive a hamstrings (HS) autograft and bone-patellar tendon- bone (BTB) autograft has yet to be reported in a young, athletic population. The tested hypothesi
