Knee surgery recovery: does graft type matter for muscle strength?

NCT ID NCT07523854

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study follows 80 people aged 13 to 45 who had ACL reconstruction using either a quadriceps or hamstring tendon graft. Researchers will measure knee muscle strength at several points over six months to see if one graft type leads to better recovery. All participants follow the same rehab program. The goal is to understand how graft choice influences strength and function after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If this study finds clear differences, it could help surgeons choose the best graft type for faster and stronger muscle recovery after ACL surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at recovery patterns, so it won't prove one graft is better for everyone. Results may not apply to all patients.
