At a minimum 2-year follow-up after QT ACLR, adolescent athletes experienced significantly improved postoperative IKDC scores, high rates of RTS, and low rates of graft failure, despite a relatively high ipsilateral reoperation rate. Surgeons may utilize this information when identifying the optimal graft choice for adolescent athletes who have sustained an ACL injury and wish to return to high level of sporting activities.
