Comparison of drop jump landing biomechanics and asymmetry among adolescents with hamstring, patellar and quadriceps tendon autografts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

摘要

Background: Adolescent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) commonly utilizes hamstring (HT), patellar (PT) or quadriceps (QT) tendon autografts, but consensus is lacking regarding optimal graft choice. This study compared landing biomechanics and asymmetries among ACLR patients with HT, PT and QT grafts and uninjured controls.
