Suture Tape Augmentation Tied to Lower Graft Failure in ACLR

A retrospective cohort study with propensity score matching compared hamstring autograft ACL reconstruction with and without suture tape augmentation (STA) in 62 patients with high internal rotational tibial subluxation (IRTS), followed for a mean of 3.8 years. The study reported that the STA group had significantly higher rates of achieving minimal clinically important difference, Patient Acceptable Symptom State, and substantial clinical benefit, along with a higher return-to-sport rate (74.2% vs 48.4%) and lower graft failure rate (0% vs 12.9%) compared with matched controls without STA.

Most relevant for: Patients undergoing hamstring autograft ACL reconstruction who have high internal rotational tibial subluxation.
