Summary
To investigate the differences between the two methods for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), to support the development of the best method for young federated male football players. After surgery with quadricipital tendon graft or semitendinosus tendon graft, a two-year follow-up and the rate of return to sport are proposed.
Detailed description
The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most common traumatic injuries in football, and surgery is proposed to restore knee stability. However, following surgery, few studies have focused on functional recovery of the knee with a wide arsenal of physical tests. Therefore, this study aims to study the efficacy for young football players of two types of grafts based on the most common tendons, the quadricipital and the semitendinosus (without the semimembranosus). Follow-ups will be performed at three months, six months, one year and two years after reconstruction. The variables measured will be isokinetic strength of flexors and extensors, unipodal jump test, self-perceived function, pain and tendon architecture with ultrasound.
