Introduction

Numerous types of graft can be used for revision of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The goal of our studies was to analyze mid term outcomes of revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions conducted by means of ipsilateral bone -patellar tendon -bone (B-PT-B) transplant.

Materials and methods

We conducted a retrospective study on a consecutive series of 44 patients. All patients were operated on by the same senior surgeon in our institution between 2003 and 2009. All patients had undergone a first ACL reconstruction with B-PT-B transplant. They all had ACL revision under arthroscopic assistance and by means of ipsilateral B-PT-B transplant after a minimum of 18 months after primary surgery. At time of ACL revision, the mean patients age was 28 years (range, 17–49 years). The average postoperative follow up after revision was 55 months (range, 12–88 months). We had no patient lost to follow up. All patients were evaluated by an independent observer using IKDC scoring system and KT 2000.
