Isolated fibular collateral ligament reconstruction graft options in the setting of ACL reconstruction: Clinical and radiographic outcomes of autograft versus allograft

Arthroscopy Oct 30, 2020

Dekker TJ, Schairer W, Grantham WJ, et al. - In this study, varus knee stability and clinical outcomes were compared between patients who had undergone fibular collateral ligament reconstruction (FCLR) with autografts vs allografts when undergoing concomitant anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Researchers retrospectively distinguished all individuals who had undergone primary ACLR and concomitant FCLR from 2010 to 2017 by a single surgeon (R.F.L.). The study included 69 primary ACLR with concomitant FCLR patients. No variations were found in varus stress laxity at 6-months postoperatively or clinical outcome scores at minimum 2-year postoperatively between patients with FCL reconstructions with either autograft or allograft. This research indicates that both hamstring autografts and allografts for FCL reconstructions offer reliable and similar radiographic and clinical outcomes at short-term follow-up.
