Outcomes of Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Bone-Quadriceps Tendon Graft Versus Double-Bundle Hamstring Tendon Graft

Conclusion: Anatomic ACL reconstruction with the BQT autograft showed similar knee stability and functional outcome scores when compared with the DBHT autograft. Additionally, better flexor muscle strength recovery was found in the quadriceps group, indicating a potential advantage of the BQT autograft in ACL reconstruction.
