Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a debilitating condition and often requires surgery to restore joint stability. Common autografts used for reconstruction include patella tendon and hamstring tendons. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the early to mid-term clinical outcomes of ACL reconstruction using validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). The secondary aim was to compare clinical outcomes between patella tendon and hamstring tendon autografts. The tertiary aim was to compare clinical outcomes between males and females.
