What this Trial Is About
This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Sixty patients (≥18 years) with an isolated ACL injury will be randomly assigned to receive an ACL reconstruction using either a Peroneus Longus Tendon (PLT) autograft or a Hamstring Tendon (HST) autograft. The primary objective is to compare early functional outcomes between the two groups at 6 weeks and 3 months post-surgery, using the Lysholm Knee Score. The study aims to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the PLT graft. All surgeries will be performed arthroscopically at Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, followed by a standardized rehabilitation protocol.
