Age-related changes in mechanical properties of semitendinosus tendon used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Abstract Background Hamstring tendons are a popular choice for autografts in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, there is increasing evidence that hamstring tendon autografts carry a high risk of revision and residual instability in young patients. To elucidate the reasons for...
