Description
Krzysztof Kasicki and co-authors review whether graft type affects vertical jump results after knee ligament reconstruction. Their 2026 systematic review gathers studies that used clear graft types and objective jump tests. Graft choice is a live question in anterior cruciate ligament care, since the harvested tissue can shape recovery.
Five databases were searched to early 2026, and forty-seven studies with over three thousand four hundred participants qualified. Bias and certainty were graded with standard tools. Because the studies differed too much, results were combined in a structured narrative rather than a pooled number. One graft, taken from the patellar tendon, showed more side-to-side imbalance in early two-leg jumps than hamstring grafts, with gaps closing later.
