Abstract

We evaluated 41 knees 24 to 48 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed using multiple autogenous semitendinosus tendons. The ip silateral free semitendinosus tendon was tripled or quadrupled to make a graft 7 to 10 mm in diameter and more than 60 mm long. When the diameter of the graft was less than 7 mm, an ipsilateral doubled gracilis tendon was also used (in seven cases). Twenty-three patients (56%) returned to their preinjury activity levels. According to the patients' subjective assessment, 34 (83%) graded themselves as normal or nearly normal. No patient reported giving way of the knee or limitation of knee motion. The average anterior laxity difference between the involved knee and contralateral uninjured knee was 1.5 mm at 200 N. Twenty-nine patients (71 %) demonstrated an anterior laxity difference of 3 mm or less when the involved knee was compared with the contralateral uninjured knee. Quadriceps muscle strength was 90% compared with the contralateral healthy limb, and hamstring muscle strength was equivalent to the contralateral limb. In our study, tripled or quadrupled semitendinosus free tendons were ex cellent anterior cruciate ligament grafts for restoring knee stability, recovering thigh muscle power, and pre serving knee motion.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
