A total of 50 amateur soccer players were included in the study. Patients were examined clinically or contacted to complete postoperative patient-reported outcome measures, namely the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, the International Knee Documentation Committee questionnaire, the ACL\u2013Return to Sport After Injury scale, and the Forgotten Joint Score\u201312.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The patients\u2019 mean age was 25.8 \u00b1 7.7 years (range, 14-47 years), and the mean follow-up was 34.3 \u00b1 10.7 months (range, 24-51.3 months). The median Tegner Activity Scale score was 9. The ACL repair failure rate was 16% (8\/50). The mean time from repair to failure was 23.1 \u00b1 12.7 months (range, 6-44 months), and the mean age of patients who sustained ACL repair failure was 19.9 \u00b1 3.3 years (range, 14-24 years), significantly lower compared with patients who did not experience ACL repair failure (26.9 \u00b1 7.9 years; range, 16-47 years; P = .017). Multivariate analysis showed that age \u226421 years was the only significant risk factor for ACL repair failure (odds ratio, 5.45; confidence interval, 1.24-27.91; P = .041). Excluding the 8 patients who experienced repair failure, 31 of 42 patients (73.8%) returned to soccer after ACL repair, with 29 of the 31 (93.5%) returning at their preinjury level of play. Moreover, patients who played competitive soccer and returned to their preinjury level of play were significantly younger than those who did not return to their preinjury level of play (mean, 21.1 \u00b1 3.4 vs 29.2 \u00b1 9.5 years, respectively; P = .002) and had significantly better ACL-Return to Sport After Injury scores (mean, 96.6 \u00b1 4 vs 87.8 \u00b1 11, respectively; P = .044).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, 73.8% (n = 31) of patients returned to playing soccer, of whom 93.5% (n = 29) returned to their preinjury level after ACL repair.
