Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in adolescents commonly utilizes hamstring (HT), patellar (PT) or quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts. Recent studies demonstrated improved outcomes with PT and QT grafts over HT, but consensus is lacking regarding optimal graft choice. This study compared landing biomechanics and symmetry during the rehabilitation period among adolescent ACLR patients reconstructed with HT, PT and QT grafts as well as uninjured controls. METHODS 61 adolescent patients with recent unilateral ACLR (27 HT, 20 PT, 14 QT; 4-12 months post-surgery, mean 6.4; age 15.4±1.4 years) and …
