Hamstring Tendon

Published results showed patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon graft had decreased knee flexion strength compared with patients who received a patellar tendon graft at long-term follow-up.

According to published results, doubled peroneus longus tendon autograft may provide faster return to sport vs. quadrupled hamstring tendon autograft for patients undergoing ACL reconstruction.

An international group of experts published guidelines on hamstring lengthening surgery and anterior distal femoral hemiepiphysiodesis to guide surgeons in their care of ambulatory children with cerebral palsy.

More than 20 years after patients underwent ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon graft and femoral cortical button fixation, they had a low failure rate, low awareness of the operated knee and good clinical stability.

BOSTON — Young active patients undergoing hamstring autograft ACL reconstruction with lateral extra-articular tenodesis experienced reduced graft failure and anterolateral rotatory laxity compared to patients who had ACL reconstruction alone, according to results presented at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine.

There was a significantly increased risk of graft ruptures in adolescent patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autografts augmented with allografts compared with patients who underwent reconstruction with comparably sized hamstring tendon autografts, according to recently published results.
