ACL Reconstruction With Attachment-Sparing Hamstring Autograft Results in Earlier Graft Maturation and Better Short-Term Clinical Outcome in Comparison to Free Graft: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The authors aimed to determine whether tibial attachment-sparing hamstring grafts result in earlier graft maturation and better short-term clinical outcomes compared to free hamstring grafts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Their randomized controlled trial found that the attachment-sparing technique led to significantly earlier graft maturation and improved clinical scores, suggesting it may be a superior option for ACLR.
