Introduction: Recently, many studies have shown that double-bundle ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstructions have restored better natural ACL-fitting kinematics.
Objective: Assessing the correlation between the Hamstring autografts to the height and weight of the patient in the study and evaluating the outcomes of the arthroscopic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery using Hamstring tendon autografts.
Material and Methods: Between August 2011 and July 2013, 38 ACL-deficient patients underwent double-bundle ACL reconstruction with 4 strand gracilis and 4 strand semitendinosus tendon autograft at Viet-Duc hospital. Clinical assessment at least 2 years postoperative have been documented.
Results: Our results showed that length of 4 strand semitendinosus and 4 stra.. Read More»
