Abstract The purpose is to compare functional outcomes, return to soccer rates, and revision rates in an all-female soccer player cohort undergoing quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft ACLR versus bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft ACLR. Female soccer players who sustained an ACL rupture and underwent primary anatomic, single-bundle ACLR with BPTB autograft or QT autograft were included. Demographic and surgical characteristics were collected.

Abstract To compare postoperative isometric quadriceps strength indices (QI%) and hamstring strength limb symmetry indices (HI%) between partial thickness quadriceps tendon (pQT), full thickness quadriceps tendon (fQT), and bone-patellar-tendon bone (BPTB) autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Patients with primary ACLR with pQT, fQT, or BPTB autograft with the documentation of quantitative postoperative strength assessments between 2016 and 2021 were included.

Simultaneous meniscal tears are often present with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and in the acute setting, the lateral meniscus (LM) is more commonly injured than the medial meniscus.16 During ACL reconstruction (ACLR), the meniscus may be repaired, resected,3 or left in situ based on the type of meniscal injury and patient goals.25 Oftentimes, repair is preferred as research has shown improved quality of life scores and decreased rates of osteoarthritis development compared with...
