Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction—Age

Abstract

Abstract: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the gold standard for younger patients. Recent articles have reported good to excellent results for this procedure in patients over 50 years of age, expanding traditional indications and questioning chronologic age as a barrier for surgery. We report a case of a successful ACL reconstruction in an active 72-year-old female patient and review the available literature on the subject.
