Summary

The aim of this observational study is to examine the connection between bone-tendinous defects after BTB graft harvest and the development of anterior knee pain.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of bone-tendinous defects after ACL reconstruction on the development of anterior knee pain. We will assess the presence and extent of bone-tendinous defects using MRI scans, which will be conducted at two time points: 4 weeks and 1 year after ACL reconstruction surgery. Furthermore, we will compare the healing progress of the bone-tendinous defects observed on the MRI scans. In addition, we will evaluate the correlation between the residual bone-tendinous defect and knee functionality by comparing the results with knee functional test (IKDC form, Lysholm score, Donor site morbidity score). All individuals participating in the study have provided their informed consent by signing the necessary documents prior to their inclusion in the research.
