Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There are two kinds of grafts used in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: autograft and allograft, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. There are a lot of debates on the selection of grafts.

 
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical outcomes and differences of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using allografts and autografts.
METHODS: Form June 2010 to June 2013, 52 patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries were divided randomly into two groups: 27 patients received autografts and 25 patients underwent allografts.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The average hospitalization days and postoperative fever days were fewer in the autograft group than the allograft group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of physical examination, functional tests, grading evaluation and Lysholm-Tegner evaluation (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that both autografts and allografts for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are safe and feasible. There is no difference in functional recovery between allografts and autografts, but the their difference in hospitalization days and postoperative fever days can influence the choice of grafts.
