Published results showed ACL reconstruction augmented with bone marrow aspirate concentrate, demineralized bone matrix and suture tape yielded superior functional outcomes and faster recovery compared with standard ACL reconstruction.

Published results showed patients who received a prescription of 15 opioid tablets had similar pain control and patient satisfaction after ACL reconstruction compared with patients who received prescriptions for 25 or 35 tablets.

According to published results, a delay of 8 weeks or longer between injury and ACL reconstruction may be acceptable for adults who are less active and less injury-prone than pediatric patients.
