To determine whether the use of plasma rich in growth factors accelerates healing of the donor site in bonetendonbone anterior cruciate ligament ACL reconstruction patellar graft The use of the patellar graft presents postoperative problems such as anterior knee pain which limits its use and leads to preference being taken for alternative graftsA doubleblind randomized clinical trial was performed comparing two groups of patients who underwent ACL reconstruction using patellar tendon graft and comparing the use of plasma rich in growth factors at the donor site after graft harvest in terms of local regeneration by ultrasound assessmentThe application of plasma rich in growth factors shows accelerated tissue regeneration processes with respect to the control group This fact together with the previously published with similar conclusions can create a knowledge basis in order to set out new recovery guidelines following ACL reconstruction
