Knee surgery showdown: which tendon graft wins?
NCT ID NCT07470944
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 70 people who had surgery to fix a torn ACL in their knee. Doctors compared two different types of tendon grafts—one from the quadriceps (thigh) and one from the hamstrings (back of thigh)—to see which led to better knee function and stability. Participants were followed for 6 months after surgery.
