The “initial graft tension” applied during ACL graft fixation may promote posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). This study sought to assess the impact of initial graft tension and patient sex on PTOA outcomes at 10 to 12 years post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The hypotheses were that there would be no group- or sex-based differences in outcomes. Randomized Controlled Clinical trial. Patients were randomized to ACLR with a low or high initial graft tension. Outcomes were evaluated at 10 to 12 years postoperatively and compared with a matched, uninjured control group. Outcomes included clinical (AP knee laxity measurement, International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC] examination score), functional (1-legged hop for distance), patient-reported (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [KOOS], Short Form-36 [SF-36], Tegner activity level, patient satisfaction), and PTOA imaging (Osteoarthritis Research Society International [OARSI] radiographic score, Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score [WORMS]) assessments. Two-way mixed model analyses of variance were used to evaluate differences in outcomes between tension groups and the control group and between females and males. Both tension groups scored worse than the control group for the IKDC examination (P≤.021), KOOS (Pain, ADL, Sport, and QOL subscales) (P≤.049), and WORM difference score (P≤.042) outcomes. The low-tension group scored worse than the control group for KOOS-symptoms (P=.016) and the OARSI difference score (P=.015). The index limb had worse scores than the contralateral limb within the high-tension group for AP laxity (P=.030) and hop deficit (P=.011). This result was also observed within both tension groups for the WORMS (P≤.050) and within the low-tension group for the OARSI score (P=.001). Males had higher mean±standard error Tegner [males=5.49 (±1.88) vs. females=4.45 (±1.65)] and worse OARSI difference scores [males=1.89 (±5.38) vs. females=.244 (±.668)] relative to females (P=.007 and .034, respectively). However, no significant differences were detected between tension groups for any of the outcomes measured. Overall, ACLR failed to prevent PTOA regardless of initial graft tension. However, males treated with a low initial graft tension may be at greater risk for PTOA. These results do not support the hypothesis of no sex differences in outcomes at 10 to 12 years post-ACLR. The results suggest that males may be at risk for worse PTOA post-ACLR, which may be relevant to clinical management post-ACL injury.
