Description
Lei Fan, Lei Zhang, Jiexi Tang, Zhe Xu, and Weili Fu pool trials that compare two graft choices for knee ligament rebuilds, in work from 2024. Surgeons often use the patient's own hamstring tendon. Thin grafts found in surgery are weaker, so some surgeons bulk them up with donor tissue to form a hybrid graft.
The review searched four major databases for trials that compared the two options head to head. Outcomes covered graft failure, knee stability, and patient reported scores. Study quality was graded with standard bias tools. The authors started from the view that the two grafts would not differ. The pooled data test that claim across many patients.
