Comparison of Outcomes of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions Using Patellar Tendon or Hamstring Tendon Autografts with Femoral Cross-pin Fixation
Abstract:In this study, we aimed to compare outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions using bone-patellar tendon-bone graft (BPTG) or hamstring tendon graft (HTG) with cross-pin fixation at the femoral side. Materials and Methods: The retrospective observational study included records of 100 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with femoral cross-pin fixation between May 2008 and August 2012. The patients were divided into two groups according to the graft type used: the BPTG group and the HTG g… Show more
