STABILITY 2: ACL Reconstruction +/- Lateral Tenodesis with Patellar vs. Quad Tendon

STABILITY 2: ACL Reconstruction +/- Lateral Tenodesis with Patellar vs. Quad Tendon The scientific premise for the proposed STABILITY 2 multicenter randomized clinical trial is that the rates of rotational laxity and ACL graft failure can be reduced by determining the optimal autograft choice for ACLR as well as the need for a LET. Furthermore, if successful, the results of this study will inform the optimal treatment of ACL rupture in young athletes, and women specifically, who are at risk for persistent rotational laxity/instability and graft re-rupture. Reducing the risk for graft failure will reduce the need for revision ACLR and the associated decreased QOL and socioeconomic burden that occurs because of ongoing knee instability and the increased risk for PTOA.
