Replying to ACL Research Quad vs Hamstring Data Collection

Hi all,

I'm doing some research and collecting data on quad vs hamstring. Predominantly, skiers seem to have gotten hamstring grafts. In the past 5 years, doctors seem to be gravitating toward Quad for lower retear rates, but I'm finding hard to find instances of skiers with quad reconstructions. I'm wondering why (quad muscle is too valuable for skiers to mess with?, low sample size since quad started being used?, geographically doctor preference? (colorado vs utah vs tahoe)


Wondering if you know any skiers (regular people or pro) who tore their ACL, and if possible the graft they had. thx
