Researchers are comparing two types of tendon grafts used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgeries: the quadriceps tendon and the hamstring tendon. The study focuses on evaluating clinical and radiological outcomes to understand which graft may provide better results in patients with ACL injuries, including elite and amateur athletes. Previous research suggests that quadriceps tendon grafts may have outcomes similar or superior to other graft types. The study involves two groups undergoing ACL reconstruction using an all-inside surgical technique. One group receives the quadriceps tendon graft without bone fragments, while the other group receives the hamstring tendon graft. Both procedures aim to restore knee stability, and participants are randomly assigned to one of these two groups for comparison. Participants will be monitored for various outcomes including graft maturation at 12 months and knee stability at 9 months. Additional assessments include range of motion at 6 months and muscle strength at 9 months. The study involves a single masking design and includes scheduled evaluations to measure the success and recovery after surgery over the course of a year.
