Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the return to sport outcomes at six months after ACLR between meniscus procedures, ACLR (ACLR-only), ACLR with meniscectomy (ACLR-resect), and ACLR with meniscal repair (ACLR-repair) for bone patellar tendon bone grafts and hamstring tendon grafts, separately.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 314 participants (168 female; mean ± SD age, 19.7 ± 4.8) with ACLR with a BPTB or HT. Patients were divided into three groups depending on meniscal procedure. Multivariate analysis of covariance compared differences between meniscal procedures on the battery of tests, and for each statistically significant variable, an analysis of covariance assessed the effect of meniscal procedure within each graft type. Logistic regression assessed the influence of meniscal procedure on te.. View More»
