Abstract

We would like to thank Dr Heisterkamp for his interest in our paper and his disclosure of his conflict of interest in being paid by RTI-Surgical to refute our study. The purpose of our study was to determine whether soft tissue allografts had a different risk of revision than did autografts after primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study is part of the Kaiser Permanente (KP) ACLR Registry’s mission to thoroughly evaluate how graft, graft processing, and other patient and surgeon characteristics affect surgical outcomes...
