10 patients with ACL deficiencies were randomized to undergo double-bundle ACLR with either autologous ruptured ACL tissue sutured to grafts or conventional grafts, to compare magnitude of tunnel enlargement and clinical outcomes.

Clinical outcomes were also not significantly different between groups.
