Abstract

Background: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction can be performed using autograft from various sources namely, bone patellar tendon graft, hamstring tendons (semitendinosus, gracilis) or peroneus longus tendon.

Methods: A prospective study of 30 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using quadrupled semitendinosus tendon autograft and peroneus longus tendon autograft during the study period.

Results: Statistically, there is very little comparable difference between semitendinosus and peroneus longus when used for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. However, peroneus longus tendon shows superior results when used in patients with grade 3 medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury combined with ACL injury.

Conclusions: Our study brings forth the superior efficacy and quality of the double stranded peroneus longus tendon especially in cases associated with complicated injuries involving the medial collateral ligament with a follow up date of about 2 years and as a healthy supplement to other choices of autografts and revision cases.
