Year: 2025
Type: article
Study designs: Randomized Controlled Trial, Clinical Trial
Abstract: Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction improves knee stability and function with many graft types, either autografts or allografts, which have already been studied extensively. Aim of the study: To compare between the clinical and functional outcomes of ACL reconstruction using peroneus longus tendon autograft versus hamstring tendon autograft. Patients and Methods: This study is a controlled randomized prospective study, that was conducted at Menoufia University Hospitals from February 2023 to February 2024. Twenty patients underwent ACL reconstruction using peroneus longus tendon autograft and twenty patients underwent ACL reconstruction using Hamstring autograft. A written well informed patient consent was obtained from all the participants. The patients were followed up for 12 months. Results: In HT group, the Lyshlom score has improved from 59.1±11.2 with range between 36-84 pre-operatively to become 93.9±4.6 with range between 84-100 post- operatively. While in PLT group, it has improved from 54.6±6.4 with range between 42-65 to become 94.8±4.7 with range between 85-100 post-operatively.
