Abstract

The article provides a systematic review of autograft and nonirradiated allograft tissue for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The review included nine studies and determined whether the use of nonirradiated allograft tissue is linked with poorer outcomes when compared with autografts. The researchers found no significant differences in graft failure rate, postoperative laxity, or patient-reported outcome scores in the systematic review.
