| Popis: | Aim: The aim of this study was to find the correlation between different anthropometric parameters of the patient on the length and diameter of the hamstring graft harvested during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 consecutive patients (33 males and 17 females) with ACL deficiency scheduled for reconstruction using hamstring autograft were evaluated prospectively at our institution during the study. Preoperatively, we recorded age, gender, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). Intraoperative measurements of the final diameter of the graft using sizing tubes calibrated to 1 mm and length of tendon harvested were taken. Correlation coefficient (Pearson’s r) analysis was used. Results: As per the study, height of the patients correlated to graft diameter and length in both Indian men and women (P < 0.001). Although there was no correlation between age, sex, weight, and BMI with graft length and diameter. Conclusion: Anthropometric measurements such as weight, gender, and BMI cannot be used as definitive predictors for the hamstring graft diameter during harvest, but the height of the patients can be taken as a good predictor. |
