Evaluation of Donor Ankle Function after Harvesting Peroneus Longus Tendon Graft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction- A Prospective Cohort Study
Abstract:Introduction: Primary full thickness Peroneus Longus Tendon Graft (PLTG) for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) has been used with good clinical outcome. Recently, it is designated as a promising graft option for ACLR. The effect of harvesting PLTG on donor ankle function is still not completely understood. Peroneus Longus Tendon (PLT) is thought to play a major role in proprioceptive regulation of the ankle joint. All the studies till date did cross-sectional assessments of ankle and foot functi… Show more
