Implication

Prospective study shows bone-patellar tendon-bone and hamstring autografts yield comparable recovery, with faster return to sport/work for hamstring grafts.

Key Points

Both graft types provided excellent pain control and low complication rates, ensuring a favorable early recovery.
Statistically significant faster return to sport/work was observed in the hamstring group, averaging 5.4 months compared to 7.2 months.
No significant differences in range of motion were noted between the two graft types, indicating similar functional recovery rates.
Minimal pain levels were reported at rest and during walking, highlighting effective postoperative pain management for both grafts.
