To compare the donor site morbidity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using ipsilateral and contralateral bone-patellar tendon autograft. ⋯ The contralateral bone-patellar tendon graft appears to present no advantage over the ipsilateral graft, as all symptoms concerning donor site morbidity are shifted from the injured into the healthy knee, and return to activity is not more rapid.

The potential destabilizing effect of distal clavicle resection has received limited attention. ⋯ That the destabilizing effect of clavicle resection can be partially countered by the proposed ligament augmentation may be particularly relevant in cases of resection for posttraumatic arthritis after acromioclavicular separation in which some degree of preexisting acromioclavicular capsular attenuation and consequently acromioclavicular joint laxity may be presumed.
