120 patients with advanced chronic anterior laxity were randomized to receive ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with or without extra-articular ilio-tibial band tenodesis. The study aimed to examine ACLR outcomes and objective laxity when combined with lateral plasty. After 2 years, patients who underwent ACLR with lateral plasty experienced a greater improvement in anterior translation laxity of the lateral compartment versus ACLR alone. Anterior translation of the medial compartment, subjective scores, and overall IKDC scores were comparable between groups.
