Assessing the Outcomes of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with or without the use of Antibiotic Solution in Graft Preparation: A Randomized Control Trial

Key Points

• To evaluate the effect of vancomycin presoaking on ACL graft outcomes and infection risk.
• Conducted a randomized control trial comparing ACL reconstruction with and without vancomycin presoaking.
• Participants were divided into two groups based on graft preparation method.
• Assessments included infection rates and graft performance during recovery.
• Grafts with vancomycin showed a trend towards reduced infection risk.
• No significant adverse effects on graft performance or recovery were observed.
