Revision Rates After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Bone–Patellar Tendon–Bone Allograft or Autograft in a Population 25 Years Old and Younger

Is There a Higher Failure Rate of Allografts Compared With Autografts in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review of Overlapping Meta-analyses

“…Furthermore, several studies and reviews have found no significant differences between autografts and allografts. [9][10][11] For instance, Sun et al 12 conducted a long-term randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing quadrupled hamstring tendon autografts and fresh-frozen hamstring allografts. After a mean 7.8-year follow-up period, there were no significant differences in the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Lysholm, Cincinnati, and Tegner scores between the 2 graft types.…”

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries in children and adolescents

“…36 Bone-patellar-tendon-bone autograft is another option in adolescents who are at skeletal maturity because of the decreased rerupture rate compared with hamstring autograft. 37,38 This graft is not recommended in patients with open physis because of the possibility of physeal disturbance.…”

Patient-Centered Outcomes and Revision Rate in Patients Undergoing ACL Reconstruction Using Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Autograft Compared With Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Allograft: A Matched Case-Control Study

“…15 Although the use of allograft tissue for ACL reconstruction is well documented in the literature, reported success of this technique remains inconsistent. Some surgeons report outcomes similar to those of autografts, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] while others have shown higher failure rates with allograft tissue. 5,15,23,24 Comparison of allograft and autograft outcomes and revision rate is difficult due to differing factors across studies.…”
