About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to test and compare different surgical techniques in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* What are the optimal criteria for selecting between single-bundle ACL reconstruction combined with anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction versus double-bundle ACL reconstruction combined with ALL reconstruction? * How do these two surgical techniques compare in terms of post-operative knee stability, functional outcomes, and reducing re-tear rates?
Participants will:
* Undergo pre-operative MRI imaging, ligament stability testing, and motion analysis evaluations * Be randomly assigned to either:
* Single-bundle ACL + ALL reconstruction * Double-bundle ACL + ALL reconstruction * Receive the assigned surgical procedure * Participate in post-operative follow-ups, ligament stability testing, and motion analysis at 6 months and 1 year
Researchers will compare the single-bundle ACL + ALL group and the double-bundle ACL + ALL group to see if one technique demonstrates superior knee stability, functional outcomes (e.g. return to sport ability), and lower ACL re-tear rates.
