In this plan, important results are obtained that show which graft is better for the reconstruction of the ACL.
Design
This research is a prospective interventional study of the type of randomized controlled clinical trial with three arms (3-arm RCT) which aims to compare the clinical results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon, quadriceps tendon and patella tendon.The protocol of this study will be based on SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Intervention Trials) guidelines. This study is a randomized study with 3 arms (3 treatment groups) in a parallel manner, in which 63 participants who meet the study entry and exit conditions are selected and are followed up for 12 months after the intervention.
Settings and conduct
Army employees and soldiers who entered the study based on the entry and exit criteria, their demographic information is obtained by interviewing and completing a questionnaire, then after randomization, random allocation, and concealment, they are randomly divided into 3 groups, and each group undergoes a type of operation. Surgery is done by a surgeon and with a fixation method, and immediately after the operation, as well as the follow-up periods of 3, 6, and 12 months, they are examined and asked about function , pain level, and clinical examinations of ligament laxity, and at the end of the patients' information It is subjected to statistical analysis by SPSS program.

Intervention groups
Patients who undergo ACL resection surgery from 1400 to 1402.
Main outcome variables
Need for re-surgery, Lachman test status, pivot shift test status, anterior traction test status, score, anterior knee pain, knee range of motion, satisfaction level, time to return to normal activity

Randomization description
Participants will be randomly divided into three groups 1:1:1. Each patient who enters the study will be assigned a unique number. Using the method of balanced consecutive blocks (Permuted Balanced Block Randomization) and the command of random numbers in Microsoft Office Excel 365 software, the table of random assignment of each patient to one of three different surgical groups is prepared. Patients based on their unique number specified in the patient report form; They are divided into one of three groups. Concealment: The random numbers generated for assigning referring patients to different treatment groups will be hidden from the opinion and information of the project manager and collaborators until the end of the study, and will be revealed after data analysis. In order to hide the sequence of generated random numbers, they are assigned to different treatments through pre-determined codes, and the clinical colleagues do not have any knowledge of the defined assigned code when prescribing. The orthopedic surgeon will be informed of the patient's assigned group on the day of the operation.
