Review of Graft Choices for Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The question of which graft to use for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction continues to be debated at meetings around the world. The overall choice of grafts consists of autografts, allografts, and synthetic grafts (1) . By far the two most commonly used grafts are central third bonepatellar tendon-bone and hamstring tendon, either semitendinosus alone or semitendinosus combined with gracilis. The next most popular graft was quadriceps tendon, followed by allograft tendon. It is worth noting that there may be considerable geographic variation in the choice of graft for ACL reconstruction.
