The Evidence Summary Report here is being presented during the development of the AAOS Clinical Practice Guideline on the Management of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries, 2nd Edition, and does not contain conclusions or recommendations. It provides a summary of the systematic literature search conducted for a specific research question: "In patients undergoing ACL reconstruction which graft type results in better patient outcomes?"
The full guideline, complete with work group-determined recommendations, evidence tables, and other supporting documentation is projected to be published in 2021.
