<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="line-height:2;"><b>Dear Editor, </b><br>
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common ligamentous disruptions in sports, with reconstruction rates exceeding 200,000 annually worldwide [1]. While advances in fixation techniques and early mobilization protocols have markedly improved stability and short-term outcomes, deficits in symmetrical movement remain across graft types [2]. Subtle deviations in knee flexion, limb loading, and inter-limb coordination often persist years after surgery [3]. Restoration of mechanical integrity does not guarantee restoration of physiological function, emphasizing a crucial gap between structural success and biomechanical recovery. Choice of graft substantially affects donor-site morbidity, proprioceptive reintegration, and kinetic balance. Therefore, understanding graft specific biomechanical adaptations is important for interpreting postoperative locomotor recovery. This editorial synthesizes evidence on how graft type alters both biological integration and neuromuscular reorganization governing walking and running mechanics.</span></span></span></div>
