Purpose

This study aimed to analyze the association between anthropometric data of patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries and the characteristics of the grafts used in ligament reconstruction.

Methods

This analytical study involved 30 patients randomly assigned to two groups: Group I, flexor tendon grafts (semitendinosus and gracilis), and Group II, peroneus longus tendon grafts.

n = 30 patients

9.33

Results

9.33

cm

peroneus longus grafts came out wider than hamstring grafts

n = 30 patients

More results

Student's t-test, chi-square test, and Pearson's correlation test were used.

Anthropometric data were not shown to be reliable predictors for the flexor grafts, although younger and taller patients were more likely to have a greater length in the peroneus longus graft.

Conclusion

Level of Evidence I; Prognostic study - investigation of the effect of a patient's characteristics on disease outcome.
