Four-Strand Hamstring Tendon Autograft Compared with Patellar Tendon-Bone Autograft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction A Randomized Study with Two-Year Follow-Up

摘要: Seventy-two patients with subacute or chronic rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament were randomly assigned to autograft reconstruction four-strand gracilis and semitendinosus tendon (N = 37) patellar tendon-bone 35) from ipsilateral side. The groups similar in terms age, sex, level activity, degree laxity, meniscal lesions found surgically, rehabilitation program. follow-up was performed at another hospital by independent observers after 6, 12, 24 months. Sixty-one (32 hamstring grafts 29 grafts) complied routine for full No differences between respect Cincinnati functional score, KT-1000 arthrometer measurements, stairs hopple test results. subjective result single-legged hop better group 6 12 months, but no showed isokinetic knee extension strength than did not There a significant weakness flexion among group. Anterior pain significantly different groups, kneeling less common
