Abstract For ACL reconstruction in children, which is better to use, the Quadricep or Hamstring Graft? At this time there is limited research on which graft is better for pediatric patients, and with children aged 14-18 having the highest chance of tearing their ACL, it is important to gather research, so children can go back to doing what they love.
