Abstract

|
The Hamstring autograft and the bone patellar bone tendon autograft have been widely used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. In recent years, use of hamstring autograft for ACL reconstrution has been increased. The reason seems to be the advantages of the hamstring tendon such as high ultimate tensile load, low donor site morbidity and development of graft fixation method. These theoretical advantages have been increased as studies have shown that hamstring tendons actually regenerate after harvesting for ACL reconstruction. However, the concerns have arisen regarding the disadvantages of hamstring harvest, which were weakness of tibial internal rotation, the loss of flexion strength. The flexion strength loss has been controversial, therefore it needs to study whether restoration of flexion strength after hamstring regeneration is or not. In this study, we reviewed the current research of concerns on the advantage and disadvantage of hamstring tendon autograft and the hamstring regeneration. Furthermore, we compared the earlier studies and experiences regarding Hamstring regeneration with our research.
