Single bundle ACL reconstruction with peroneus longus tendon graft: 2-years follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peroneus longus tendon autograft resembles hamstring tendon's biomechanical strength. Thus, peroneus longus is a potential graft in reconstructive orthopaedic procedures. However, there was few study in evaluation of peroneus longus usage in ACL reconstruction. This study aimed to quantify the clinical outcome and donor site morbidity in ACL reconstruction using peroneus longus tendon autograft.

Methods

Patients who suffered isolated ACL injury were enrolled and underwent isolated single bundle ACL reconstruction using peroneus longus autograft. Functional score (IKDC, Modified Cincinnati, and Tegner-Lysholm score) were assessed at pre-operative and 2-years after surgery. Graft diameter was measured intraoperative. Donor site morbidities were assessed with thigh c
