The Challenges of Treating Female Soccer Players With ACL Injuries: Hamstring Versus Bone–Patellar Tendon–Bone Autograft

Abstract

Adolescent female soccer players undergoing ACL reconstruction had relatively high satisfaction and outcome scores independent of autograft choice. Notwithstanding, patients and families need to be counseled that less than half of patients will return to their preinjury level of sport and, if an athlete attempts to return, there is a high risk of further ACL injury.
