Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction: Hamstring Versus Quadriceps

NCT04137250 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Hamstring

The intervention will consist of make an incision on the medial side of the proximal portion of the leg approximately 3 centimeters to dissect by planes until the tendons of the hamstrings are located, which will be removed surgically with specialized instruments and the wound will be closed, for later These tendons be used as an autograft for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament

PROCEDURE

Quadriceps tendon

orThe intervention consisted in making an incision in the anterior aspect of the distal portion of the thigh of approximately 3 centimeters to dissect by planes until locating the membranous portion of the quadriceps tendon, from which will be removed a portion of surgical way with specialized instruments and the Wound will be closed, for later this tendon to be used as an autograft for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament.
