Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with semitendinosus graft versus peroneus longus tendon graft

Abstract

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction can be performed using autograft from various sources namely, bone patellar tendon graft, hamstring tendons (semitendinosus, gracilis) or peroneus longus tendon.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study of 30 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using quadrupled semitendinosus tendon autograft and peroneus longus tendon autograft during the study period.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Statistically, there is very little comparable difference between semitendinosus and peroneus longus when used for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. However, peroneus longus tendon shows superior results when used in patients with grade 3 medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury combined with ACL injury.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Our study brings forth the superior efficacy and quality of the double stranded peroneus longus tendon especially in cases associated with complicated injuries involving the medial collateral ligament with a follow up date of about 2 years and as a healthy supplement to other choices of autografts and revision cases.</p>

A prospective study of arthroscopic primary ACL reconstruction with ipsilateral peroneus longus tendon graft: Experience of 439 cases

“…The peroneus longus tendon is superficially placed, and its position is not complicated to access by accompanying structures like hamstring tendons. [22] Moreover, the biomechanical properties of the peroneus longus tendon are superior, as proposed by another research. [23] Our study had several limitations, one of which was that no preoperative activity level and quadriceps strength matching among the cohort.…”

“…46 The tendon is superficially located and its position is not difficult to access by adjacent structures, such as the tendons of the hamstring muscle. 46,47 Morbidity at the donor site was minimal, with no significant differences observed in ankle eversion and plantarflexion strength of the first ray between the donor site and the contralateral healthy site. 35,36 These findings suggest that autologous peroneus longus tendon graft does not cause significant morbidity at the donor site.…”

“…46 O tendão está superficialmente localizado e sua posição não é complicada de ser acessada por estruturas adjacentes, como os tendões do músculo posterior da coxa. 46,47 A morbidade no local doador foi mínima, não sendo observadas diferenças significativas na eversão do tornozelo e na força de plantiflexão do primeiro raio entre o local doador e o local saudável contralateral. 35,36 Esses achados sugerem que o enxerto autólogo do tendão do músculo fibular longo não causa morbidade significativa no local doador.…”
