Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common and affect a young, active patient population. Despite much research, ACL reconstruction graft choice remains a topic of debate. Based on the best available evidence, autograft seems to be superior to allograft for ACL reconstruction in young, active patients. Future high-level studies are required in order to better define the role of allograft in ACL reconstruction. As graft choice is often influenced by surgeon preference, it is important that surgeons understand the current literature as well as the goals of their patients.
