Sex-Specific Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using an All–Soft Tissue Quadriceps Tendon Autograft in a Young Active Population Am. J. Sports Med. (IF 4.2) Pub Date : 2024-08-04 Camryn B. Petit, Harris S. Slone, Jed A. Diekfuss, Kim D. Barber Foss, Shayla M. Warren, Alicia M. Montalvo, Joseph D. Lamplot, Gregory D. Myer, John W. Xerogeanes
Background:The ideal graft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) in young athletes has a high return-to-sport (RTS) rate and a low reinjury rate. Quadriceps tendon autografts are being used with increasing frequency for ACLR in this population, despite a paucity of evidence to support their use.Purpose:To report the RTS rate, ipsilateral reinjury rate, and contralateral ACL injury
