According to published results, patients who underwent re-revision ACL reconstruction had low rates of return to sport at their pre-injury level despite improvements in stability and patient-reported outcomes.

Medial and lateral menisci are crescent-shaped fibrocartilage structures that provide joint congruity, stabilization and lubrication and act as “shock absorbers” for joint preservation. During weight-bearing activities, the menisci dissipate axial loads and contain hoop stresses. The medial meniscus transmits approximately 50% of the total joint load of the knee medial compartment, thus protecting the articular cartilage from excessive force.
