Knee anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery has significantly evolved and now includes the option of using an allograft. This has resulted in numerous studies evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of allografts. The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate this research and present important findings to allow the selection of the most appropriate graft source when considering allograft versus autograft reconstruction.

Comparison of human tendon allografts and autografts used in knee reconstruction
TLDR
This paper will compare the effectiveness of allografts and autografteds in ACL reconstruction procedures with regard to postoperative outcomes and complications, biologic incorporation and laxity, athletic rehabilitation, athletic participation, functional limitations, pain, and cost.
Two-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Our experience using allograft bone dowels
TLDR
The surgical technique, experience and outcome of the first 19 patients in whom the allograft bone dowels were used in the first stage of revision ACLR are described.
Cryopreservation - A Viable Alternative in Preparation for Use of Allografts in Knee Ligament Reconstruction
TLDR
Tendon allografts are used in knee surgeries, in elbow ligament reconstructions and in revisions of the acromioclavicular joint.
ACL Injury and Surgical Treatment Options
TLDR
The anatomy and function of the native ACL, the nature of injury, and aspects of ACL reconstruction, including surgical approach, tunnel positioning, graft choice, and graft fixation are reviewed.

What tissue bankers should know about the use of allograft tendons and cartilage in orthopaedics
TLDR
This review highlights the advantages and disadvantages associated with the clinical use of both tendon and osteochondral allograft, with particular emphasis paid to graft immunogenicity, viability, incorporation and disease transmission.
Primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: perioperative considerations and complications
TLDR
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are among the most commonly studied orthopaedic injuries and require thorough preoperative planning, proficient technical skills to properly manage intraoperative complications, and an extensive knowledge of possible postoperative complications.
The use of allograft tendons in primary ACL reconstruction
TLDR
A current review of the clinical evidence available to help guide surgeons through the decision-making process for the use of allografts in primary ACL reconstruction suggests use of irradiation, chemical processing and rehabilitation programs suited to autograft are important negative factors.
Surgical Treatment of Chronic Ankle Lateral Instability: Reconstruction with Tenodesis or Tendon Graft
TLDR
Limitations regarding the instabilities for over-weight, physically high demanding patients, failed anatomical repair, and particularly for significantly deficient or attenuated ligaments may indicate the need for non-anatomical reconstruction using peroneus brevis tendon or anatomical reconstruction using the allo/autograft tendon.

TLDR
The use of allogeneic human tendon is described as an intra-articular replacement for the anterior cruciate ligament and it is found that 30 patients at least two years after operation had been able to return to full sporting activities.
