Description
Summary:Background The objective of this study is to investigate the risk of revision surgery when delaying anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) past 3 months or 6 months after injury. Materials and methods A total of 30,280 patients with isolated ACLR were identified in the Danish Knee Ligament Reconstruction Registry and divided into four groups; ACLR  3 months,  6 months after injury. Primary outcome was revision surgery and secondary outcome were objective and subjective clinical outcome. The 2 year relative risk, crude, and adjusted hazard ratio (HR) were calculated. Results Comparing ACLR  3 months of injury the 2 year relative risk of revision surgery was found to be 1.81 (95% CI 1.46–2.23; P
