The study aimed to assess the impact of graft type and tunnel location on patient outcomes after ACL reconstruction in individuals over 45 years old.
During the research period from 2015 to 2018, 51 eligible patients were evaluated, with 44 providing follow-up data at least two years post-surgery.
Results indicated that while patellar tendon autografts showed some improvement in specific activity scores, overall, neither the graft type nor the tunnel creation method significantly affected patient-reported outcomes after surgery.
