Focused shockwave will be administered to the autograft harvest site following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) using either bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) or quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts
The applicator tip will be placed on the skin with sterile gel and an audio recording of the focused shockwave will be turned on to mimic the sound of the machine.
