Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The experimental group (group 1) will undergo a reconstruction technique where semitendinosus and gracilis will preserve their insertion at the level of the hamstring whereas in the control group (group 2) the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons will be disengaged from their insertion on the hamstring .
