Comparison of Autologous Quadriceps and Hamstring Tendon Grafts in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Sponsor: Muzaffer Agir
Summary
With the recent technological advancements, the use of the quadriceps tendon with an all-inside technique has come to the forefront, and large-scale research has focused especially on quadriceps tendon grafts. Clinical study results have reported that the outcomes are similar to those of patellar tendon grafts and either equivalent or superior to hamstring tendon grafts. The aim of this study is the prospective comparison of the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autologous hamstring and quadriceps tendon grafts.

Interventions
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Quadriceps Autograft
The investigators will perform all-inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using only the tendon portion of the quadriceps tendon (without bone fragments) in this group.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Hamstring Autograft
The investigators will perform all-inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the hamstring tendon as a graft in this group.
