Background: Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been documented to have inferior outcomes compared with primary ACL reconstruction. The reasons why remain unknown.
Purpose: To determine whether surgical factors performed at the time of revision ACL reconstruction can influence a patient's outcome at 6-year follow-up.
Background/objectives: The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that vitamin D deficiency (i.e., serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) ≤ 20 ng/mL) associates with the increased occurrence and shortened time to a knee osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Furthermore, body mass index influences the protein expression of orthobiologic treatments like platelet-rich plasma and microfragmented adipose tissue. We performed a secondary analysis of the association of body mass index with patient-reported outcomes for patients with knee osteoarthritis who received either platelet-rich plasma or microfragmented adipose tissue injections.
