Predictors of Revision Surgery After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Conclusion:
In this large cohort study, the rate of revision ACL reconstruction was 3.6%, which is consistent with the existing literature. Increased odds of revision surgery among active-duty personnel were associated with the perioperative use of NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors. Age ≥35 years and concomitant meniscal repair were found to be protective against ACL revision.
