Abstract

Background: During the past several years, there has been a rise in ACL reconstructions due to improved diagnostic techniques and a greater awareness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures. To assess the clinical effects of anatomic single bundle ACL restoration utilising quadriceps versus hamstring tendon, a prospective randomised experiment is being done. Methods:ACL repair using an autogenous hamstring or arthroscopic assistance was performed on 30 individuals with ACL deficiencies (group 1)or quadriceps tendon graft in this randomised controlled research (group 2). Results: With regard to age, amount of activity, degree of laxity, kind of trauma, side of damage, and accompanying injuries, there were no discernible variations between the two groups. Patient's subjective evaluation, ligament inspection, discomfort at the harvest site, one-leg hop test, overall evaluation of the IKDC, Lysholm system, and Tegner Activity Scale, evaluation of laxity using the KT-1000 arthrometer, and measurement of the circumference of the thigh. Conclusions:High levels of functional and athletic activity are made possible by ACL repair with hamstring or quadriceps tendon transplantation.
