## Purpose: To investigate the patient-reported outcome measures (proms) and graft survival of combined anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (aclr) and lateral extra-articular tenodesis (aclr-let) compared with a matched cohort having aclr alone. ## Methods: Patients were retrospectively recruited from a consecutive series of primary aclr-let, between 1996 and 2015, with a minimum postsurgical time of 4 years. aclr-let were matched with isolated aclr for age, gender, and operation year. the indications for adding lateral extra-articular tenodesis were lateral laxity of grade 1 or 2, hyperextension laxity, and/or increased rotational laxity of 5° to 10°. the technique used involved detaching a strip of iliotibial band proximally, before being passed deep to the lateral collateral ligament, looped through kaplan's fibers, and sutured back onto itself at physiological tension. the proms used were the lysholm knee scoring scale, tegner activity scale, oxford knee score, and international knee documentation committee subjective knee form. failure was defined as graft rupture. student's t-test was used to compare the matched groups and kaplan-meier analysis for survivorship. ## Resu
