Background: Small-diameter hamstring tendons are frequently encountered during anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in patients with short stature or those who are …

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in adolescents is commonly
performed with hamstring tendon autografts. Small graft diameter is one risk factor for graft …

Background: Small-diameter autograft hamstring grafts have been linked to graft failure after
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The frequency of hamstring autografts that …

Background: Younger patients and those with smaller hamstring autograft diameters have
been shown to be at significantly greater risk of graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament …

Background: Previous studies have suggested that suture tape-reinforced anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) grafts may have higher ultimate failure loads without stress-shielding. In …

Background: There are a number of surgical methods for undertaking anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR), although relatively high rates of ipsilateral retears …

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with hamstring autograft has
gained popularity. However, an unpredictably small graft diameter has been a drawback of …

Objective: To evaluate the predictive factors for traumatic rerupture, reinjury, and atraumatic
graft failure of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction at a minimum 2-year follow-up …

Purpose The purposes of this study are to confirm factors that affect the diameter of
hamstring tendon autograft and to compare failure rates between the factors after anterior …

Background: No well-controlled studies have compared the long-term outcome of anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft between …
