Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
criterion-based rehabilitation protocol	rehabilitation protocol	It's a three phases rehabilitation protocol with a goal-based progression which include a three criterion based postoperative phases: (1) impairment phase, (2) sport-specific training phase and (3) return to play phase. Patients can start with the next phase only if specific goals of the previous phase are achieved
accelerated rehabilitation protocol	rehabilitation protocol	It's a four phases rehabilitation protocol mainly based on the remodeling process of the graft., emphasizing full passive knee extension, immediate weight bearing as tolerated and functional exercises

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Lateral trunk flexion during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA	15 minutes	From the coronal plane, trunk lateral flexion angle is the angle of the trunk
Dynamic knee valgus during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA	15 minutes	From the coronal plane, dynamic knee valgus is the angle of the knee
knee flexion angle during Single leg landing-jump test using CLINICAL CLIMA 3DMA	15 minutes	From sagittal plane, knee flexion angle is the angle of the knee
