A Prospective Randomized Study of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Autograft, γ-Irradiated Allograft, and Hybrid Graft

Proprioception following the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Tibialis Anterior Tendon Allograft

“…This proposition is supported by the literature as well. 10 Our literature review has shown that a limited number of studies have used tibialis anterior tendon allograft for ACL reconstruction [24][25][26] and no studies have yet evaluated the proprioception by measuring the knee joint in more than one angular position. Moreover, the studies in which other grafts are used did not compare proprioception as in our study.…”

Failure Rate and Clinical Outcomes of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Autograft Hamstring Versus a Hybrid Graft

“…22 Although the question of allograft versus autograft for reconstruction of the ACL is a heavily debated topic by orthopaedic surgeons, there is a paucity of research comparing the clinical benefit of using hybrid grafts with autograft tissue. Li et al 31 recently reported postoperative peripheral blood inflammatory markers, knee stability, and clinical outcomes and found no difference when comparing ACL reconstruction with autograft hamstring and a soft tissue hybrid graft. The purpose of this study was to compare the revision rate and subjective outcome measures of autograft hamstring versus a soft tissue hybrid graft for isolated ACL reconstruction.…”

Autograft superior to both irradiated and non-irradiated allograft for primary ACL reconstruction: a systematic review

“…One study included 34 hybrid grafts, and this hybrid graft arm was excluded from further analysis 39. Most studies involving non-irradiated, non-chemically treated grafts explicitly describe the use of fresh frozen, non-irradiated grafts 20 24–27 30–34 36 41 42.…”
