Evaluating the Statistical Fragility of Comparative Studies on Autografts for Pediatric ACL Reconstruction
Comparative studies on pediatric ACLR autograft outcomes displayed vulnerability when assessed using fragility metrics, indicating a lack of statistically robust data. The findings revealed that many reported outcomes are fragile and may require further investigation. Future research should incorporate fragility analyses-especially in studies with long-term follow-ups-to enhance the reliability of conclusions regarding optimal graft selection in pediatric ACLR.
