Aims: To conduct a scoping review into the use of allograft in primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, and to ascertain the variability in reporting outcomes in the literature. Methods: The study was conducted in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analayses (PRISMA), and also used Arksey and O'Malley's established five-stage process for scoping reviews in order to map the literature for allograft use in primary ACL reconstruction. Following screening to identify eligible studies, data were extracted and mapped to provide a descriptive and thematic analysis. Results: A total of 421 studies were identified from the initial search, with 77 studies eligible for final scoping review published from January 1993 to December 2024. The majority of studies were published from the USA and China (56/77, 72.3%). Nine studies (9/77, 11.7%) were level1 evidence. Key variables such as graft diameter (27/77, 33.8%), graft processing (27/77, 35.1%), and cost of graft (3/77, 3.9%) were significantly under-reported. For clinical outcomes, the Lachman score (45/77, 57.1%), pivot shift grade (45/77, 58.4%), and graft re-rupture rate (42/77, 54.5%) were highest reported. For functional outcomes, two predominant scores were recorded, the International Knee Documentation Committee score (52/77, 67.5%) and the Tegner-Lysholm knee score (48/77, 62.3%). A total of 30 functional outcomes were recorded, spanning all studies. Conclusion: This scoping re...
