Quadriceps Tendon Versus Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Autograft ACL Reconstruction RCT
All Soft Tissue Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Versus Patellar Tendon Autograft in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: a Randomized Controlled Trial
University of Alabama at Birmingham
100 participants
Sep 26, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The choice of autograft for ACL reconstruction continues to be debated. To date, there has only be one completed randomized controlled trial with quad tendon to BTB and the tendon included a bone plug. There has been no study to date comparing an all soft tissue quad tendon to patellar tendon in a randomized controlled trial for ACL reconstruction.
