Background: Younger age is being increasingly recognized as a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft rupture and contralateral ACL injury after ACL reconstruction.

Recent reports estimate second ACL injury rates to be in the range of 20% to 40%, which is a significant concern and requires further exploration.

We also sought to explore the influence of sex and age groupings (
