ABSTRACT
Over the last 12 years identification of specific risk factors (age, activity level, and laxity) for failure of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have led to comparisons of the patellar tendon (PT) and hamstring (HS) tendon grafts. The PT has proved superior in most of these studies. During this same time period, there has been increased clinical/research interest in the quadriceps tendon autograft for ACL reconstruction. This has led to direct comparison to the HS and QT autografts. Again, the HS tendon appears inferior in measured outcomes to the quadriceps tendon. Increased laxity measurements seem to correlate with the decreased evidence of radiographic healing on magnetic resonance imaging. If this is the case, it may indeed be the final nail in the coffin for HS graft use in young at-risk athletic populations.
