Many of the ACL reconstructions we do during the course of a year involve old injuries. One issue that should be addressed is the present of any post-traumatic arthritis. If this has created a deformity in the knee, then this must be treated befor the ligament is reconstructed. Otherwise, the issues are basically the same.
