Predictors for Hamstring Graft Diameter in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

摘要: Background: The ability to accurately predict the diameter of autograft hamstring tendons has implications for graft choice and fixation devices used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Purpose: To determine whether simple anthropometric measurements such as height, mass, body mass index (BMI), age, gender can be ACL reconstruction surgery.Study Design: Cohort study (prevalence); Level evidence, 2.Methods: authors conducted medical record reviews telephone interviews 106 consecutive patients with using quadrupled semitendinosus-gracilis from 2004 2006. Data included (height, gender, age at time surgery). Hamstring was obtained cylindrical sizers 0.5-mm increments recorded patient's surgical record. Correlation coefficients (Pearson r) stepwise, multiple linear regression were rel...
