First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether simple body measurements like height, weight, and leg length can predict the size of tendons used in ACL reconstruction surgery. Researchers will compare two types of tendon grafts in 180 people aged 18-45 who need ACL surgery. The goal is to help surgeons choose the right graft size before the operation.
