It is unclear if differences in the type of nicotine used lead to similar adverse outcomes after ACLR. In conclusion, smokeless tobacco use was associated with an increased risk of medical complications, ED utilization, and subsequent procedures compared with nonuser controls and traditional smokers. These findings highlight the importance of considering specific forms of tobacco use in preoperative screening for patients undergoing ACLR. Click here to read the article.
