The quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft is a good alternative for ACL reconstruction. However, concerns regarding its use in short\u2010statured patients, related to donor site morbidity, anterior knee pain, or loss of muscle strength remain. This study aimed to compare muscle strength and morbidity between patients with short and normal statures following ACL reconstruction with a QT autograft.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 73 female patients (mean age, 33.8\u2009\u00b1\u200911.5 years) who underwent primary ACL reconstruction between 2016 and 2019 were included. Patients were categorized into two groups: group S, with a height\u2009\u2264\u2009163\u00a0cm, and group L, with a height\u2009&gt;\u2009163\u00a0cm. Muscle strength, harvesting site morbidity, and ACL\u2010return to sport after injury scale (ACL\u2010RSI) were evaluated, with a mean timing of the follow\u2010up of 9.0\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3\u00a0months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean quadriceps strength for the isokinetic measurements at 60\u00b0 and 240\u00b0 was 65.0% and 74.0% in group S, respectively, and 70.0% and 75.7% in group L, respectively. There was no significant difference in the postoperative muscle strength or mean ACL\u2010RSI (group S, 70.0; group L, 65.9) between the groups. No donor site morbidity was observed in either group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Muscle strength recovery, morbidity, and readiness to return to sports were similar in both groups, which supports the possibility of QT autografts for patients with a small stature.
