Choose Autografts for Lower Risks

Allografts, which are obtained from cadavers, carry a higher risk of re-rupture compared to autografts, which are sourced from the patient's own body. The most common types of autografts include the bone patellar tendon-bone, hamstring tendon, and quadriceps tendon. While studies suggest similar re-injury rates among these autografts, some research indicates either the hamstring or bone patellar tendon-bone could be superior. However, the differences in outcomes among these graft types are not significant enough to definitively claim superiority, suggesting that all are viable options.
