Graft Type and Outcomes After ACL Reconstruction in Female Athletes
Sponsor: Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia
Summary
This prospective multicenter cohort study aims to compare clinical and functional outcomes between hamstring tendon and quadriceps tendon autografts in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in female athletes. Participants will be followed for two years after surgery to evaluate graft failure rates, return to sport, knee stability, and patient-reported outcomes.
