"To arthroscopy surgeons worldwide: What are your graft options for primary ACL reconstruction? This table reflects my personal experience, supported by literature and integrated into my practice for graft choices. I do not use BTB graft, so it is not included in the table." Complications in the table are only for donar site. I am not counting sephenous nerve injury dying hamstring harvest as a complication. #arthroscopy #Aclreconstruction #acl #aclgraft
what is the percentage of tingling and numbness on anterolateral tibia after hamstring harvest ?

7moI love that you're expanding your graft options to beyond hamstrings - I think they're overused significantly. I would suggest your table needs some updating though - to say there's no complications with any of your graft options is interesting, and all graft harvests have some physical cost - be it temporary or permanent. I'm loving PL grafts of late, another string to our bow. But let's not forget the BPTB graft - it's my go to in times of need!
