What this Trial Is About
The purpose of this randomized study is to compare donor site morbidity and clinical and functional outcomes of both surgery techniques (bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft versus bone-patellar tendon without patellar bone plug (PT) graft) for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does PT graft reduce donor site morbidity compared to the standard BPTB graft? * Does PT technique provide clinical and functional results comparable to the BPTB technique? Researchers will compare the incidence of complications and clinical and functional outcomes between the BPTB and PT grafts groups. Patients will: * Undergo ACLR surgical intervention using one of the two assigned techniques (BPTB or PT) * Follow a two-year assessment program, including visits at three, eight, 12 and 24 months after surgery.
