Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is one of the most common procedure all around the world, however optimal graft source for ACLR still remains controversial. Although Quadriceps tendon (QT) is the least used and least studied autograft, it could be an appropriate and good alternative for ACLR. If investigaters use the same surgical technique, and exert the same rehabilitation methods they may have better results than hamstring tendon (HT) autografts.
