Randomized Controlled Trial
The use of an alternating magnetic field in the resorption of postoperative joint effusion following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A randomized double-blind controlled trial.
There are no scientific reports unambiguously describing the efficacy of alternating magnetic field therapy in patients after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the early postoperative period. ⋯ In patients after ACL reconstruction, in whom an alternating magnetic field was used to treat postoperative joint effusion, there were no beneficial effects on the analyzed variables compared to the control group.

Randomized Controlled TrialQuadriceps tendon vs. patellar tendon autograft for ACL reconstruction using a hardware-free press-fit fixation technique: comparable stability, function and return-to-sport level but less donor site morbidity in athletes after 10 years.
The use of quadriceps tendon-patellar bone (QTB) autograft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is gaining momentum. Yet, long-term results that compare this procedure with established methods are lacking. The aim of this study was to report and compare long-term results of ACL reconstruction using QTB autografts versus bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autografts, both anchored using a hardware-free press-fit fixation technique. ⋯ Prospective and randomized, level of evidence 2.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries treated with quadriceps tendon autograft versus hamstring autograft: A randomized controlled trial.
One of the most common grafts used to repair anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is the hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. However, another proposed option to repair the ACL is the quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft. This study aimed to compare the pain and clinical results between patients with ACL injury treated with QT autograft and with HT autograft. ⋯ The patients treated with QT autograft had clinical results and post-operative pain similar to those of patients treated with HT autograft for ACL reconstruction.

Randomized Controlled TrialA Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Patellar Tendon, Hamstring Tendon, and Double-Bundle ACL Reconstructions: Patient-Reported and Clinical Outcomes at 5-Year Follow-up.
This randomized clinical trial evaluated the 5-year, disease-specific quality-of-life outcomes of patients treated for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency with use of a patellar tendon, single-bundle quadruple-stranded hamstring, or double-bundle hamstring reconstruction. ⋯ Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyTibial tunnel widening associated with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autogenous hamstrings: A comparison between antero-medial portal and transtibial techniques.
Evaluate the enlargement effect of the tibial tunnel emergence of 2 different of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques: antero-medial portal (AMP) vs. transtibial (TT) technique. ⋯ The diameter of the tibial tunnel emergence for hamstring autologous anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions was significantly lower for the medial portal technique when compared with the conventional TT technique.
