Variables Affecting 90-Day Overall Reimbursement After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Analysis of Nearly 250,000 Patients in the United States

Hospital admissions (inpatient surgery and readmission) and adverse events were associated with the greatest increase in costs and emphasize the need to optimize these metrics above and beyond patient experience.
