Core Tip This study challenges the long-held belief that anterior knee pain is an inevitable consequence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone grafts. By employing autologous bone grafting to fill donor site defects, the researchers demonstrate a significant reduction in postoperative anterior knee pain, with 95.8% of patients pain-free at one year. This innovative approach not only emphasizes the importance of effective donor site management but also presents a cost-effective, biologically sound strategy that could enhance patient outcomes and redefine surgical practices in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
