Outcomes of hamstring graft with preserved tibial insertion for ACL reconstruction: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Evaluate the outcomes of ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction techniques that use a hamstring graft with a preserved tibial insertion and compare them to standard techniques.

Methods

A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was done of the PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane and Ovid databases to identify published clinical studies on ACL reconstruction in which a non-detached hamstring tendon (NDHT) was used as a graft and to compare them to studies in which a detached hamstring tendon (DHT) or other techniques were used. The eligible studies were analyzed for the knee laxity, Lachman test, pivot shift test, joint range of motion, anterior drawer, pain, re-tear, revision surgery, Lysholm score, Tegner score, ACL-RSI scale, KOOS, IKDC, SNQ and Howell scale.<
