Mean follow-up was 136 months. Evaluation was performed using the International Knee Documentation Committee score (IKDC), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Lysholm Knee Score and Tegner Activity Level Scale. Incidence of OA was determined by comparing standard anteroposterior and lateral weightbearing radiographs of the ACL-reconstructed and contralateral knee. Osteoarthritis severity was graded according to the Kellgren\u2013Lawrence (KL) score.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Median Tegner activity level was 6 (5\u20137). Lysholm and IKDC scores were 100 (95\u2013100) and 90 (86\u201395), respectively, KOOS was 98 (95\u2013100). Of ACL-reconstructed knees, 41 (50%) had radiographic OA, of which 6 (7.3%) had severe OA (KL III). Of the contralateral healthy knees, 28 (34.1%) had radiographic evidence of OA. Of these 22 (26.8%) and 6 (7.3%) patients had, respectively, KL-I and KL-II. 11 patients (11.8%) underwent subsequent knee surgery: 5 (5.4%) revisions, 3 (3.2%) meniscal surgeries, 2 (2.2%) other surgeries, 1 (1.1%) contralateral ACL reconstruction.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The study demonstrates that ACL reconstruction with HT autograft and cortico-cancellous screw suspension device determines satisfying clinical results after 10 years of follow-up.
