Comparison of Results in ACL Reconstruction in Women under 30 Years Old at a Minimum of 2 Years' Follow-Up between a Bone-Tendon-Bone (BTB) Technique with the Patellar Tendon and a Hamstring Technique Combined with Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a frequent injury among athletes, particularly women. Various techniques have shown effectiveness, but their impact on laxity and clinical outcomes varies. This study aims to compare the rupture rates of patellar tendon (PT) reconstruction versus hamstring reconstruction (HR) combined with anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) in young women. The secondary objectives include comparing functional ACL-RSI and subjective IKDC scores, as well as the Tegner scale, between these two groups. The hypothesis is that adding ALLR to HR will result in rupture rates and functional scores similar to those of PT reconstruction. Methods: Between 2015 and 2019, 96 patients were treated at two facilities, with 70 having an average
