Does Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with a Hamstring Tendon Autograft Predispose to a Knee Valgus Alignment on Initial Contact during Landing? A Drop Vertical Jump Movement Analysis

Does Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with a Hamstring Tendon Autograft Predispose to a Knee Valgus Alignment on Initial Contact during Landing? A Drop Vertical Jump Movement Analysis

The mechanism most correlated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears is the simultaneous valgus and external rotation of the knee. This study investigated if ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon autograft predisposes to “knee-in & toe-out” compared to ACL reconstruction with a patella...
