Surgical Treatments
for Bone Cysts
Simple bone cysts (SBCs) are cysts filled with fluid that occur most frequently in the long bones (arms or legs) of children. There are many ways to treat SBCs but it is unclear if one is better than another. The purpose of this research trial is to compare the effectiveness of two common treatments that are used by surgeons today.

Quadriceps vs. Hamstring Autograft
for ACL Rupture
To date, the use of the quadriceps tendon as an autograft option in primary paediatric Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction has not been well studied. The 2018 International Olympic Committee (IOC) Consensus Statement now outlines the quadriceps tendon as a possible autograft option. However, no Randomised Control Trial (RCT) has examined the efficacy of the quadriceps tendon autograft in primary paediatric ACL reconstruction compared to the historical "gold-standard" soft-tissue hamstring autograft in this population. In light of its evidence for favourable outcomes in the adult population, and the (albeit limited) evidence showing safety and promise in the paediatric population, clinical equipoise exists for assessing its impact on outcomes in paediatric patients at the index surgery. This is a parallel, international, multi-centre, blinded randomized controlled trial of 352 skeletally-immature (at the time of injury) patients (ages 10-18 years, inclusive) undergoing primary ACL reconstruction to compare the effect of autograft tendon choice (i.e. hamstring versus soft-tissue quadriceps) on the rates of ACL graft failure, return-to-sport, knee function, pain, health-related quality of life and health utility, psychological factors, range of motion and stability, and any other adverse events at 24 months.
