Tendon-Bone Versus All-Soft-Tissue for ACL Reconstruction: A Patient-Blinded Randomized Clinical Trial
Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
In primary pediatric Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, the quadriceps tendon with either tendon and patellar bone or an all-tendon graft is commonly employed. However, no randomized control trial has sought to discern the superior graft option in regards to both short-term and long-term patient outcomes.The purpose of this study is to assess the differences between these two widely used surgical techniques in ACL reconstruction by examining short, intermediate, and long term outcomes of both approaches.
