The Correlation Between Graft Size and Graft Failure in Hamstring Autograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Background: Previous studies have investigated various factors that contribute to graft failure in hamstring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, there is debate about the potential advantages of increasing graft diameters beyond 8 mm.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study (level of evidence III), we investigated whether increasing graft sizes beyond 8 mm diameter showed any advantages in reducing the risk of graft failure.

Stand-Alone Tibial Interference Screw Fixation and Tibial Interference Screw Plus Tibial Staple Fixation Produce Comparable Outcomes After Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Hamstring Autografts.

Purpose: To investigate the impact of adding a metal staple alongside the interference screw in tibial side graft fixation during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods: All patients treated with autograft hamstring ACLR at our institution between January 2017 and December 2021 with a minimum 1-year follow-up were reviewed retrospectively. Patients treated with a stand-alone interference screw for tibial side fixation were compared with those treated with a combination of interference screw and staple.

Acute Atraumatic Compartment Syndrome of the Thigh Due to Acquired Coagulopathy Disorder: A Case Report in Known Healthy Patient.

Introduction: We present a case of spontaneous compartment syndrome due to a very rare cause which is acquired hemophilia.

Case Presentation: A 34-year-old patient presented with the right thigh swelling and features of acute compartment syndrome without history of trauma. He had no history of bleeding disorder.
