Editorial Commentary: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Auto or Allo?
Abstract:

Allografts pretreated with high-dose irradiation should be avoided. Otherwise, multiple factors should be considered to individualize patient decision making, including patient age and activity level, graft type, and fixation type.
