The short‑term complication risks associated with graft type are not well defined. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to measure six‑month morbidity following primary arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Using billing codes and medical record review, we identified graft type, patient characteristics, and postoperative complications. Among 413 patients (average age 33 years; 65% male; 66% allograft), overall morbidity was 5%: 7% in allograft recipients and 2% in autograft recipients. After adjusting for sex, the relative risk of complications for allograft versus autograft was 3.0 (95% CI: 0.9–9.7). These findings support informed decision‑making about short‑term risks associated with graft choice in ACL reconstruction. 000000360 540__ $$fCC BY 000000360 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000360 650__ $$aCohort Studies$$028327 000000360 650__ $$aTransplantation$$027278 000000360 650__ $$aPostoperative Complications$$024462 000000360 650__ $$aAnterior Cruciate Ligament$$028897 000000360 650__ $$aMorbidity$$022428 000000360 650__ $$aAllografts$$040445 000000360 650__ $$aRetrospective Studies$$025415 000000360 650__ $$aAutografts$$040446 000000360 650__ $$aAnterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries$$011589 000000360 650__ $$aTransplantation, Autologous$$027280 000000360 650__ $$aTransplantation, Homologous$$027282 000000360 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000360 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000360 7001_ $$aHallvik, Sara$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000360 8564_ $$9eaf01215-3bf9-4e69-8f7b-725fcd3d43d9$$s267479$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/360/files/361_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$28f6fa56be474bfb9d86bcfb5f0590ff4$$31 000000360 905__ $$a/rest/prod/kd/17/cs/86/kd17cs86q 000000360 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:360$$pstudent-work 000000360 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000360 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
