Surgeons performed 82 \u00b1 50 ACL reconstructions in 2012. One hundred eighteen surgeons (86%) would use bone\u2013patellar tendon\u2013bone (BPTB) autografts to treat their starting running backs. Ninety (67%) surgeons drill the femoral tunnel through an accessory anteromedial portal (26% through a transtibial portal). Only 1 surgeon prefers a double\u2010bundle to a single\u2010bundle reconstruction. Seventy\u2010seven (55.8%) surgeons recommend waiting at least 6 months before return to sport, whereas 17 (12.3%) wait at least 9 months. No surgeon recommends waiting 12 months or more before return to sport. Eighty\u2010eight (64%) surgeons do not recommend a brace for their starting running backs during sport once they return to play.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BPTB is the most frequently used graft for ACL reconstruction by NFL and NCAA Division I team physicians in their elite\u2010level running backs. Nearly all surgeons always use a single\u2010bundle technique, and most do not recommend a brace on return to sport in running backs. Return to sport most commonly occurs at least 6 months postoperatively, with some surgeons requiring a normal examination and normal return\u2010to\u2010sport testing (single leg hop).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2014.02.034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,3]],"date-time":"2014-04-03T13:15:10Z","timestamp":1396530910000},"page":"731-738","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":97,"title":["Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Practice Patterns by NFL and NCAA Football Team Physicians"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Brandon J.","family":"Erickson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Rush University Medical Center Chicago Illinois U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua D.","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Rush University Medical Center Chicago Illinois U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yale A.","family":"Fillingham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Rush University Medical Center Chicago Illinois U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachel M.","family":"Frank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Rush University Medical Center Chicago Illinois U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles A.","family":"Bush\u2010Joseph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Rush University Medical Center Chicago Illinois U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Bernard R.","family":"Bach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Rush University Medical Center Chicago Illinois U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian J.","family":"Cole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Rush University Medical Center Chicago Illinois U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikhil N.","family":"Verma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Rush University Medical Center Chicago Illinois U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_2_2_2","volume-title":"Another way to look at the NFL's $9 billion in revenue","author":"Daly D.","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_3_2","unstructured":"Sports Industry Overview.
