Summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine if the knee flexion angle (KFA) during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) graft fixation has an effect on postoperative outcomes. The specific research questions are: what is the effect of the KFA on 1) patient-reported outcomes; 2) postoperative extension loss; 3) antero-posterior (AP) knee stability; 4) rate of re-operation.
