Mechanical assessment of tripled hamstring tendon graft when using suspensory fixation for cruciate ligament reconstruction

Mechanical assessment of tripled hamstring tendon graft when using suspensory fixation for cruciate ligament reconstruction

Abstract Background Tripling semitendinosus tendon for ACL graft preparation facilitates creation of longer and thicker grafts. Our objective was to evaluate the mechanical difference between tripled tendon grafts, prepared by three methods, by comparing with quadrupled tendon graft. Methods Bovine...
