Abstract Purpose Comparing scar cosmesis and regional hypoesthesia at the incision site between quadriceps tendon (QT), bone– patellar tendon–bone (BPTB), and hamstring tendon (HT) for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods Ninety patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with QT, HT or BPTB were evaluated at 1-year post-op. Scar cosmesis was assessed using the patient and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS) and length of the incision. Sensory outcome was analyzed by calculating the area of hypoesthesia around the scar. The classical ACL reconstruction functional follow-up was measured using the Lysholm score and KOOS. Results Concerning QT versus BPTB group, QT patients have a significantly lower mean POSAS (24.8 ± 6.3 vs. 39.6 ± 5.8; p
