Comparing two types of knee graft after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses registry data to compare outcomes of two common graft types (quadriceps tendon vs semitendinosus tendon) for ACL reconstruction. It may help patients understand which graft type leads to better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first ACL reconstruction surgery
- Your surgeon used a graft from either your quadriceps tendon or semitendinosus tendon
- You filled out knee function and activity questionnaires at least one year after surgery
- You were between 15 and 50 years old at the time of surgery
- Your surgery did not involve repairing multiple knee ligaments

This study compares two types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
This trial compares two types of grafts to rebuild the ACL in the knee, to see if one leads to better results. It is for active athletes with a recent ACL tear and healthy knees.
This study looks at how different “grafts” (tissue used to rebuild the ACL) affect outcomes after first-time ACL reconstruction. It may help personalize graft choice for people who want to return to physical activity.
This trial compares two types of grafts using the semitendinosus tendon for ACL reconstruction. It aims to see if adding a part of the tendon's muscle improves healing and stability after surgery.
This trial compares two types of tendon grafts (quadriceps versus hamstring) to see which works better for ACL reconstruction. It may help athletes find the best option for their knee injury.
This study compares how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
