There is some controversy regarding the use of one or two hamstring tendons for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). In this study, two cohorts of 22 male patients underwent an ACLR with hamstring tendon autografts. One cohort was reconstructed through an all-inside technique with the semitendinosus tendon (ST group) and the other with the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons (ST-G group). Anterior tibial translation (ATT), Lysholm, and IKDC scores were assessed preoperatively and five years postoperation. Additionally, isometric knee muscle strength was manually measured in both groups and in another cohort of 22 uninjured control male subjects five years after the operation. There were no significant differences in ATT and Lysholm scores between the operated groups. The IKDC score was lower in the ST-G group than in the ST group—9.57 (CI 14.89–4.25) (p < 0.001). No significant differences between injured and uninjured knees were detected in hamstring to quadriceps ratio strength and quadriceps limb symmetry index of the two operated groups, but the hamstring limb symmetry index was significantly lower in the ST-G group than in the ST and control groups. This study shows that using an ST-G autograft for ACLR yielded less flexor strength and worse results in some patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) than using an ST autograft five years after the operation. The observed results let us suggest that the use of one autograft hamstring tendon for ACLR is clinically preferable to the use of two hamstring tendons. |
