- Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is generally regarded as a safe and effective procedure with high return to sport and low rerupture rates (4.9% rerupture rate after a mean FU time of 8.1 years according to the Norwegian Knee Ligament Registry) [[10]]. Nonetheless, due to the increasing number of ACL reconstructions performed annually, the number of ACL revisions (ACL-Rs) is rising automatically. Surgeons should be aware that ACL-R is associated with an increased risk of 30-day hospital readmission (0.6% vs. 1.9%), reoperation (0.5% vs. 1.9%), and surgical complications (0.5% vs. 1.9%) compared with primary ACL reconstruction [[11]].
