Comparison of Clinical Results Using Hamstring Versus Quadriceps Tendon Graft Versus Bone Patella Tendon in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is pivotal for restoring knee stability and function in individuals with ACL injuries. While bone-patellar tendon-bone (PT), hamstring tendon (HT), and quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts are commonly employed, their comparative effectiveness remains a subject of ongoing research. This study aims to comprehensively compare the functional outcomes, knee stability, revision rates, and incidence of anterior knee pain associated with these autografts.
In this randomized clinical trial, adult male participants undergoing primary single-bundle ACL reconstruction were randomized into three groups (PT, HT, QT) using a computer-generated sequence with allocation concealment. Blinded assessments were conducted at 2-, 6-, and 12-months post-surgery to evaluate knee function, stability, and patient satisfaction. The rehabilitation protocol was standardized across groups, including specific exercises and cryotherapy, to minimize postoperative swelling and pain.
A total of 75 participants were followed for 12 months post-surgery. While significant improvements in knee function and stability were observed across all groups, there were no statistically significant differences between the autograft types in terms of revision rates or the incidence of anterior knee pain. Detailed statistical analysis revealed effect sizes and confidence intervals, substantiating the clinical relevance of the findings.
PT, HT, and QT autografts each provide favorable outcomes for ACL reconstruction without significant differences in efficacy up to one year postoperatively.Level of Evidence: Level 2 (Randomized Clinical Trial)
