A study comparing two grafts for treatment of knee instability

Not yet recruiting

Conditions: Anterior cruciate ligament injury/insuffieciency/tear

Registration Number: CTRI/2017/03/008098

Lead Sponsor: Jawaharlal institute of postgraduate medical education and research puducherry

Brief Summary: This study is a randomized, double blind, parallel group, trail comparing the safety and efficacy of quadriceps tendon autograft and Hamstrings tendons autograft for anterior cruciate ligamnent insuffieciency. The study will be conducted at Jawaharlal institute of postgraduate medical education and research puducherry on 60 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary outcome measures will be measurement of one leg hop index at the end of one year after the anterior cruciate ligament reconsctrution with either of the grafts. The secondary outcomes will be measurement of international knee documentation committee (IKDC) subjective and objective assessments at the end of one.
