Abstract

The article reports a study determining the long-term survival of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft and the contralateral ACL (CACL) after reconstruction. The results revealed that 15 years after ACL reconstruction, expected survival of the ACL graft was 89 percent and expected survival of the CACL was 86 percent. Men had a less favorable survival rate of the ACL graft than women, and a family history of ACL rupture increased the risk of both ACL graft and CACL rupture.
