Patient-Reported Outcomes and Revision Rates After ACL Reconstruction With Quadriceps Versus Hamstring and Patellar Tendon Autografts: Sex-Stratified Results From the Swedish Knee Ligament Registry

Key Points

QT autografts provided lower patient-reported outcomes compared to HT autografts in women, highlighting a notable sex difference in outcomes.
No significant differences in revision rates were found among the three graft types, indicating consistency in surgical success.
Analysis from the Swedish Knee Ligament Registry evaluated outcomes specifically by sex, showing varying results based on graft choice.
Findings suggest the need for tailored approaches in ACL reconstruction based on patient sex and graft type for optimal recovery.

Abstract

QT autografts were associated with lower PROs compared with HT autografts in women, whereas no such differences were observed when compared with PT autografts or among men. Revision rates were similar across graft types, both overall and by sex.
