Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Metaanalysis Comparing Patellar Tendon and Hamstring Tendon Autografts

Abstract: Patellar tendon autografts had a significantly lower rate of graft failure and resulted in better static knee stability and increased patient satisfaction compared with hamstring tendon autografts. However, patellar tendon autograft reconstructions resulted in an increased rate of anterior knee pain.

“…Anterior knee pain and kneeling pain have been shown to be lower in hamstring autograft patients. [10,11] In our study, eight of 44 patients (18.1%) complained of intermittent pain. Anterior knee pain originating from the patellofemoral joint was diagnosed in five patients from the QT-PB group.…”

“…The choice of the site from which an autograft will be harvested depends on tissue accessibility and availability; on the physical dimensions and mechanical properties of the donor tissue; and on the extent of site morbidity that will be induced [286,287]. The use of autografts in clinical setting has been strongly supported by superior functional results [288,289].…”

“…However, two meta-analyses comparing the two main graft types (BPTB vs. ST) have demonstrated that a SSD superior to 3 mm was less frequent in BTPB compared to ST grafts [95,96]. Regarding the use of allografts, some authors reported similar outcomes compared to autografts [97,98], while others suggested that they may be inferior [99].…”
