Article Synopsis
- The ipsilateral peroneus longus tendon (PLT) was used as an alternative autograft for ACL reconstruction in patients with acute ACL ruptures and grade III MCL injuries, and its efficacy was compared to autologous hamstring tendon (HT).
- Biomechanical tests showed that both doubled PLT and quadrupled HT had greater ultimate tensile strength than the native ACL, indicating strong graft performance, with PLT being comparable to HT.
- Clinical evaluations revealed no significant differences in knee stability, function, or biomechanical outcomes for the donor ankle between the two graft options, suggesting PLT is a viable choice for ACL reconstruction in these cases.
