Postoperative weight bearing
FWB	91 cases	77 cases	168 cases

BMI = body mass index, BTB = bone-patellar tendon-bone, PTQT = partial-thickness quadriceps tendon, FWB = full weight bearing, PWB = partial weight bearing.

Graft type is potential confounded with prophylaxis use (hamstring, BTB vs. quadriceps).
