After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery, Variables Associated With Returning to the Same Surgeon If a Subsequent Antrior Cruciate Ligament Surgery Is Needed?
Over half of the patients who required a subsequent ACLr changed surgeons. Changing surgeons was associated with adverse events after index surgery, ipsilateral revisions, longer time to surgery, and patient age. However, there should be confidence that the other assessed factors were not associated with the decision to change surgeons.
