. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether or not there was any incompatibility between four-strand hamstring tendons taken from the same knee and the dimensions of the ACL and PCL. . 15 fresh frozen cadaver hamstrings were prepared as four-strand grafts and measurements made of the ACL and PCL circumferences in the midsection were made in the narrowest part of the midsection. The cross-section areas and diameters were calculated with geometric calculations used to measure the cross-sectional area of cylinders. Accepting that the geometric insertions were elliptical, the length, width, and area were calculated for entry areas. . A significant relationship at 96.2% was determined between the ACL mid and the hamstring diameter. A significant relationship at 96.7% was determined between the ACL and the hamstring mid area. A significant relationship at 96.4% was determined between the PCL mid and the hamstring diameter. A significant relationship at 95.7% was determined between the PCL and the hamstring mid area. . For the reconstruction of ACL and PCL, it was determined that there is less incompatibility between the four-strand hamstring tendons taken from the same knee and the dimensions of the midsection PCL compared to the ACL dimensions.

Purpose: To evaluate the utility of semitendinosus tendon (ST) and gracilis tendon (GT) cross-sectional area (CSA) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and anthropometric characteristics in preoperative estimation of graft diameter in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with four-strand hamstring autografts.
Methods: Three databases were searched on 29 August 2023. The authors adhered to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and R-AMSTAR (Revised Assessment of Multiple Systematic Review) guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the use of nonabsorbable suture material for augmenting biologic grafts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) to improve healing and biomechanical strength, comparing standard ACLR with suture-augmented ACLR in terms of short-term outcomes and complication rates.
- - Data was collected from 79 patients in the standard group and 90 in the suture-augmented group, assessing their functional recovery through the IKDC and Tegner-Lysholm scores over a 24-month follow-up period.
- - Results showed that patients who underwent suture augmentation reported significantly better scores (IKDC: 85.6 vs. 75.8; Tegner-Lysholm:

Purpose: To compare the long-term outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a four-strand hamstring tendon graft alone (hamstring group) or with synthetics (Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System, LARS group) or synthetic meshwork of LARS (meshwork group).
Methods: Patients who underwent ACL reconstruction using four-strand hamstring tendon grafts (hamstring group), autologous hamstrings augmented with the LARS (LARS group), or synthetic meshwork of LARS (meshwork group) were selected in this prospective randomized clinical study. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were obtained preoperatively; at 6, 12, and 18 months postoperatively; and at final follow-up between 3 and 8 years.

Purpose: To compare graft dimensions, functional outcomes, and failure rates following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with either five-strand or four-strand hamstring autograft options.
Methods: Three databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE) were searched from inception to 22 April 2023 for level I and II studies comparing five- and four-strand hamstring autografts in ACLR. The authors adhered to the PRISMA and R-AMSTAR guidelines as well as the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.
