Abstract
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to examine the impact of age on complication risk after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. MethodsThe TriNetX research database was retrospectively queried for patients undergoing primary arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Univariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the risk of complication by age group. ResultsA total of 21,449 patients were included in the study. Patients ≥61 years old demonstrated significantly higher rates of repeat reconstruction. Rates of postoperative opioid related disorders and surgical site infection varied by age. ConclusionFor patients undergoing ACL reconstruction, increasing age is associated with increased risk of developing opioid related disorders, and repeat reconstruction.
