Hamstring tendon anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: does gracilis tendon harvest matter?

Abstract: Purpose Hamstring tendon grafts are a popular choice for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Typical morbidity reported after hamstring tendon harvest is muscle weakness in flexion, and whilst still a matter for debate, this morbidity may be greater if the gracilis tendon is harvested in addition to the semitendinosus. This study sought to comprehensively compare the outcome of ACL reconstructions in which the semitendinosus was harvested alone (ST group) or with the gracilis (ST/G group). Methods… Show more

“…Morbidity specifically associated with HS grafts include decreased knee flexion strength and tibial rotation although these do not usually translate into noticeable deficits in patients [22] . Other complications include sciatic or saphenous nerve damage, although again this is rare and may resolve with time [23] .…”

“…12 In addition, by preserving the gracilis, the patient does not lose deep knee flexion and internal rotation strength as reported by some authors, 13 although a more recent study refutes this. 14 Another benefit of preserving the gracilis is that it can be used to reconstruct other ligaments in patients with multiligament injuries.…”
