Details and patient eligibility
About
The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the effect of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction through evaluation of postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This will be a single-center non-randomized controlled study. The study is comparing postoperative graft MRI findings in two cohorts: patients undergoing isolated ACLR and patients undergoing ACLR with lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). Postoperative MRIs will be obtained at 6, 9 and 12 months postoperatively.
