| Popis: | Sixty-four patients with three different autografts were prospectively evaluated following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction for motion return, thigh girth, quadriceps activity, assistive device usage, and duration of pain medication usage. The quadriceps tendon group achieved knee extension sooner than the patellar tendon group. The hamstring group used assistive devices for less time than the patellar tendon group. The quadriceps group required less pain medication than either of the groups. There are significant differences in short-term pain medication requirements and restoration of function among patients following ACL reconstruction using different autografts. |
