Double-bundle hamstring autograft superior to bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft in ACLR
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2011 Mar;19(3):390-7. doi: 10.1007/s00167-010-1225-y. Epub 2010 Jul 2990 patients (79 at follow-up) with a unilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture were randomized to undergo ACL reconstruction using either the non-anatomical double-bundle hamstring autograft technique (naDBH) or the lateralized bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft (LBPTB) technique. At a minimum follow-up of 8 years, the naDBH group yielded significantly better pivot-shift test scores and incidences of degenerative joint changes, compared to the LBPTB group. In this study, there were, however, no significant differences between groups in subjective or objective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores, side-to-side difference or anterior knee pain, and complications.
