Summary: This multicenter randomized clinical trial of young patients treated with ACL reconstruction with or without lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) has demonstrated similar rates of adverse events between groups. Whilst an increase in hardware irritation may be seen with the addition of LET, this may be mitigated by the improved rates of stability and improvements in meniscal preservation.
