Young age, female gender, Caucasian race, and workers ’ compensation claim are risk factors for reoperation following arthroscopic ACL reconstruction

ConclusionA 10.7% ipsilateral reoperation rate at an average of 25.9 (SD 24.5) months after ACLR and an overall ACLR revision rate of 3.1% were demonstrated by the analysis. Meniscal pathology was addressed in the majority of subsequent interventions. Age 19 or younger, female gender, Caucasian race, and WC claim were associated with reoperation. Initial isolated ACLR and procedure performed by high-volume surgeon were associated with reduced reoperation.Level of evidenceLevel III.
