About this trial
This prospective randomized clinical trial aims to compare quadriceps tendon and peroneus longus tendon autografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury undergoing primary reconstruction surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two graft groups. Clinical examination findings, return-to-sport outcomes, ankle muscle strength, ankle-related functional scores, and gait analysis parameters will be evaluated at 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. The study aims to investigate both knee-related functional outcomes and donor site morbidity associated with graft harvesting techniques.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Score
Comparison of postoperative subjective knee function between quadriceps tendon and peroneus longus tendon autograft groups using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective knee evaluation form.
Time frame
12 months postoperativelySecondary outcomes
1
Return to Sport Rate
6 and 12 months postoperatively
Time frame
Assessment of return to pre-injury level of sports activity following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.2
Ankle Plantar Flexion Strength
Isokinetic ankle plantar flexion strength will be evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer. Peak torque (Nm) during plantar flexion will be recorded and compared between study groups.
Time frame
6 and 12 months postoperatively3
Ankle Dorsiflexion Strength
Isokinetic ankle dorsiflexion strength will be evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer. Peak torque (Nm) during dorsiflexion will be recorded and compared between study groups.
Time frame
6 and 12 months postoperatively4
Ankle Inversion Strength
Isokinetic ankle inversion strength will be evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer. Peak torque (Nm) during inversion will be recorded and compared between study groups.
