In female patients aged 25 years and younger, BPTB autografts showed significantly less graft failure compared with HT autografts. However, BPTB autografts had comparable patient-reported outcomes compared with HT autografts with the available data. The overall state of evidence for graft choice in female patients aged 25 years and younger is low. Future studies should report statistics by age and sex to allow for further analysis of graft choice for this specific population that is known to be more vulnerable to ACL injury.
