In recent years, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in children and adolescents (age ≤18 years) have been increasing, and the quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft has been gaining popularity for ACL reconstruction. However, there is no consensus regarding the graft choice for ACL reconstruction in these young patients. There has been a paucity of literature comparing the functional outcomes of hamstring tendon (HT) and QT autografts for ACL reconstruction in patients aged ≤18 years. In conclusion, a QT autograft for ACL reconstruction led to similar clinical outcomes, revision rates, and sports participation compared with an HT autograft in pediatric and adolescent patients.
