Peroneus Longus Tendon Autograft for Primary Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

SUMMARY Purpose. Peroneus longus tendon graft is not a popular first choice for ACL reconstruction. However, newer literature has shown good outcomes with its use. This study compares functional outcome and donor site morbidity of peroneus longus with hamstring tendon autograft to assess if it can be considered as one of the first choices for ACLR. Methods. This … Continued

The Relationship between Active and Passive Flexibility of the Knee Flexors

SUMMARY Background. Hamstrings flexibility measurements are of both, research and clinical relevance for evaluation of the training progression, prognosis of acute hamstrings injuries and monitoring recovery from such injuries. The active knee extension test and the passive knee extension test are widely used for hamstrings flexibility evaluation. However, they are based on different neurophysiological mechanisms. Objective. The aim of this … Continued

Return to play after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: trans-tibial versus antero-medial technique

Background. The purpose of the study is to compare clinical outcomes and return to sport between transtibial and anteromedial portal techniques for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction by using single bundle hamstrings grafts secured with variable suspensory fixation device. Methods. Patients undergoing ACL reconstruction were chosen randomly in the period between January 2016 and July … Continued
