71 patients with an ACL rupture were randomized to receive ACL reconstruction using either a central third bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft or a triple/quadruple semitendinosus autograft. The results at the 7 year follow up period indicated that similar outcomes were achieved using either the central third BTB autograft or the triple/quadruple ST autograft.
