Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There is a controversy in the clinical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autologous hamstring tendon or tendon allograft.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with tendon allograft and autograft.
METHODS: Totally 123 patients with injured anterior cruciate ligament received anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and they were divided into two groups: 63 cases in autograft group and 60 cases in allograft group. The postoperative effects were assessed by the Lysholm score and Lachman test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All the patients were followed for more than 8 months. After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, the stability of the knee joint, Lysholm scores and Lachman test results were all improved significantly in the two groups; while there was no difference between the two groups at the last follow-up      (P > 0.05). The clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with allograft and autograft are almost similar; therefore, surgeons should select ideal graft according to the patient’s condition and surgeon’s experience.
