Hamstring Tendon Grafts for Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Intra-articular reconstructions using either patellar tendon or hamstring tendon autografts are well-established tech-niques,1,5,15,21 and studies have shown little difference between the 2 autografts in patient satisfaction and ligament sta-bility outcomes at medium-term follow-up.1,8,9,15,17 However, there is no clear consensus on which procedure or graft source is optimal, and this remains the subject of ongoing debate.2,10 Our hypothesis was that there is a difference between the 2 graft materials and that this difference should affect the choice of graft in reconstructive surgery of the ACL. A 7-Year Follow-up of Patellar Tendon an
