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.
