Caution may be warranted in employing aggressive rehabilitation after reconstruction with these devices. Preconditioning of the graft-implant complex before fixation is important.

Some caution may be warranted when using the implants that showed increased residual displacement, especially if aggressive rehabilitation is to be used. Preconditioning of the hamstring tendon graft-implant complex before tibial fixation is needed.

Increased age, male sex, and increased surgical delay all increase the frequency and severity of injuries of the meniscus and/or articular cartilage after an anterior cruciate ligament tear.
