Hamstring strength recovery after hamstring tendon harvest for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction : A comparison between graft types.

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate hamstring strength after harvest 1 or 2 tendons for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods We recruited 50 individuals who had returned regular sporting activity participate in a comparative at mean 32.5 months reconstructive surgery (30 semitendinosus-gracilis group and 20 semitendinosus group). Isokinetic (at 60°/s 180°/s with the peak torque produced 60°, 90°, 105° knee flexion recorded) isometric 30°, flexion) were measured, standing angle used evaluate functional recovery. Results No significant differences between groups found any isokinetic measures angle. relation results obtained ( r = 0.034). Conclusions These findings show that choice tendon graft—that is, alone gracilis—is unlikely significantly influence postoperative outcomes athletes returning sports postoperatively. Both graft choices showed deficits 3% 27% compared nonoperated limb, indicating persist despite successful completion rehabilitation. also should not be as surrogate clinical measure strength. Level Evidence III, retrospective study.
