Study Summary

This trial is comparing two methods of ACL reconstruction - a quad tendon graft with a bone plug, and a patellar tendon graft - to see which is more effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for skeletally mature individuals under 40 with an ACL injury who are scheduled for autograft reconstruction. It's not suitable for those unlikely to follow physical therapy, needing multiple ligament reconstructions, or wanting to return to sports within 6 months. Pregnant or nursing persons can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of knee surgery grafts: the quad tendon (all soft tissue) and the patellar tendon (with bone). This randomized controlled trial aims to determine which graft option is better for ACL reconstruction.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include pain at the graft site, swelling, infection risk, stiffness in the knee joint, difficulty regaining full range of motion and strength in the affected leg.
