| Popis: | The aim of this study was to evaluate hip muscle flexion strength in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with patellar or hamstrings tendon graft and compare them with healthy controls. Sixty-eight male ACL deficient patients who underwent reconstruction (36 patients with hamstrings tendon graft and 32 patients with patellar tendon graft; randomized selection of type of graft) in our department, between July 2011 and July 2012, were enrolled in this randomised prospective study. Also 64 healthy male weekend athletes participated in the study as a control group. Hip flexor strength was measured by isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex), pre-operatively and one year after reconstruction. The statistical packet STATA 8.0 was used and statistical significance was set at p |
