In this episode of the Complete Physio Podcast, we sit down with Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Mr. Simon Moyes to break down the different graft options used in ACL reconstruction. From patella tendon to hamstring and quadriceps grafts, and even allografts, Simon shares what surgeons consider when deciding which one to use, based on the patient’s age, activity level, and long-term goals.

We also talk about the growing use of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) and how it fits into current ACL procedures, especially for younger or more active individuals who want added rotational stability.
