title: Revision anterior cruciate ligament surgery: causes of graft failure and technical considerations of revision surgery.
abstract: The frequency of revision ACL surgery is sure to become more common as the number of primary intraarticular reconstructions increase. Identifying the potential causes of failure through a detailed history, physical examination, and radiographic evaluation is of paramount importance prior to planning a revision surgery if the repetition of errors is to be avoided.
