ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon graft may yield decreased knee flexion strength vs. reconstruction with patellar tendon graft. Outcomes were assessed at a minimum follow-up of 18 years.

WASHINGTON — Results presented here showed ACL plus anterolateral ligament reconstruction with a hamstring autograft significantly reduced graft rupture rates compared with ACL reconstruction ...

Choosing the best replacement ligament for surgery is one key to ACL reconstruction success. A new study found that with a failure rate of almost 24 percent, the use of cadaver replacement ...

The study analyzed 14,105 cases of ACL reconstruction including those consisting of bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts -- harvested from the patient -- hamstring autografts and soft-tissue ...

For low-risk patients, a hamstring graft can increase the risk of recurrent ACL graft revision by five percentage points, from 5 percent to 10 percent.

SUpervised exercise-therapy and Patient Education Rehabilitation (SUPER) versus minimal intervention for young adults at risk of knee osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction: SUPER-Knee randomised ...

Surgical reconstruction of the ACL is designed to restore knee movement and strength after the ligament has been torn. Read about what to expect.

Allograft versus autograft for reconstruction after resection of primary bone tumors: A comparative study of long-term clinical outcomes and risk factors for failure of reconstruction.

Objective We performed a randomised controlled trial (RCT) in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction (ACLR) using either quadriceps tendon graft (QT) or semitendinosus/gracilis hamstring (STG) graft.

If the ACL is torn, surgery may be needed to restore knee function. ACL surgery (also called ACL reconstruction) involves replacing the torn ligament with a piece of tendon called a graft.

To repair a torn ACL, a surgeon replaces the damaged ligament with a new one, either from a cadaver or from the patient's own body (usually the patellar-tendon bone or the hamstring tendon).
