The main purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in graft re-injury/failure rates between participants that have had an ACL reconstruction with a STG, BPTB or QT autograft. Additionally, to compare quality of life, patient reported outcomes and functional performance after ACL reconstruction with STG, BPTB and QT.
