“Long-term Results of Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Versus Hamstring Tendon Autograft for Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials” with Author Dr. Derrick Knapik, MD

Once the most popular graft choice for ACL reconstruction surgery, hamstring autograft has recently fallen out of favor for a variety of concerns including a higher graft rupture rate in younger athletes and concerns over graft diameters that tend to run smaller. However, what does the best level evidence actually say about hamstring autograft’s long-term performance versus the current gold-standard, patellar tendon autograft? Dr. Derrick Knapick, MD joins us from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis to discuss his study looking at this question.
