The use of hamstrings and quadriceps autografts as an alternative option for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament has good clinical results: however, both techniques have not been compared among them, which is why this study is intended. The use of quadriceps tendon autograft in anterior cruciate ligament repair presents similar or better results compared to autograft of the hamstrings. The objective of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction between the use of quadriceps tendon autograft versus hamstring autograft.
