The EF group had a larger proportion of patients with IKDC grade A ( normal ) ( 33 vs 24 ; P < .020 ) , smaller side-to-side difference ( 0.680.38 mm vs 1.230.61 mm ; P < .001 ) , higher Lysholm score ( 91.294.90 vs 88.715.09 ; P = .032 ) , and better second-look arthroscopic evaluations for graft quality in the anteromedial ( P = .034 ) , posterolateral ( P = .015 ) , and combined bundles ( P = .029 ) compared with the BL group .
