Implication

Prospective observational study assesses early clinical and MRI outcomes of tibial attachment-preserving HS grafts.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate early clinical stability and MRI findings of HS tendon autografts in ACL reconstruction while preserving tibial attachment.
30 patients undergoing anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction
Clinical stability assessed with Lachman and pivot shift tests
MRI evaluation of graft morphology at 8 weeks postoperatively
Lysholm knee score improved from 54.4 preoperatively to 92.4 at final follow-up
Lachman testing showed grade 0 laxity in 29 patients and grade 2 in one
MRI confirmed anatomically positioned grafts with hypo- to isointense signals in 29 patients
