Abstract

Retear after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is unavoidable. Many variables contribute to graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Time from surgery to return to play is not the sole determinant. Graft maturation and symmetrical return of function need to be more carefully evaluated to reduce the risk of reinjury.
