Comparison of clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft vs soft-tissue allograft: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
International Journal of Surgery Jun 27, 2018
Wang HD, et al. - Comparison of clinical outcomes of primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon autografts vs soft-tissue allografts was performed. Researchers analyzed 8 studies with 785 combined patients (396 hamstring tendon autografts and 389 soft-tissue allografts). Observations suggested that with respect to subjective patient evaluation and knee stability, soft-tissue allografts were inferior to hamstring tendon autografts, however, these allografts were superior in the complication of hypoesthesia for patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction.
