Surgical Timing and Rehabilitation for MLKIs: A Multicenter Integrated Clinical Trial
The overall purpose of this project is to determine when it is best to do surgery (within 6 weeks of injury or 3 to 4 months after injury) and when to start rehab (immediately or 4 weeks after surgery) for the treatment of knee dislocations on how long it takes to resume pre-injury military duty, work, and sports.

STABILITY 2: ACL Reconstruction +/- Lateral Tenodesis with Patellar vs. Quad Tendon
Brief Description of Project Aims: Determine if graft type (QT, BPTB, HT) with or without a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) affects: 1) Rate of graft failure 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR); 2) Patient-reported outcomes, muscle function, performance-based measures of function (hop tests, drop vertical jump) and return to sports; 3) Intervention-related donor site morbidity, complications and adverse outcomes and 4) Cost-effectiveness of ACLR and LET.
