ISAKOS 2015: Long-term results of patellar tendon/hamstrings grafts in single-tunnel ACLR

Contributing Authors

V Calvisi B Frangione A Manco

108 patients undergoing single bundle, single tunnel reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) were randomized to one of three groups: a bone-patellar tendon-bone (B-PT-B) group, a hamstring graft group with EndoButtom CL femoral fixation and resorbable interference screw tibial fixation, or a hamstring graft group with EndoButton CL femoral fixation and Evolgate tibial fixation. The purpose of the study was to compare the long term outcomes of the reconstruction techniques.
