Factors such as age and sex are postulated to play a role in outcomes following arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement; however, to our knowledge, no data currently delineate outcomes on the basis of these factors. The purpose of this study was to c

In patients having anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, how does hamstring autograft compare with tibialis posterior tendon allograft for long-term outcomes?
