Knee Osteoarthritis After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Bone –Patellar Tendon–Bone Versus Hamstring Tendon Autograft: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

The primary purpose of this study was to systematically review high-quality studies in the literature to compare the postoperative radiographic incidence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with bone –patellar tendon–bone (BPTB) versus hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. The secondary purpose of this study was to compare other symptoms of postoperative knee OA between these 2 groups through patient-reported outcome scores and knee range of motion.
