Description
Wiem Issaoui and eight co-authors compare graft choices for knee ligament repair in a study whose head reports 2024. Forty-two active men with a torn front knee ligament got one of four grafts from their own tissue. All then followed the same rehab plan, and leg strength was tested after surgery and again about six months later.
All groups still had weaker injured legs at follow-up. The group with a graft that includes a piece of bone showed the largest strength gaps. The group with a mixed graft of two tissues showed the smallest gaps. The results can help surgeons weigh graft choice against strength recovery. Strength was scored as peak torque for the thigh muscles at the front and back of the leg.
