“…The quadrupled semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft provides comparable stiffness and tensile properties in addition to better cosmesis and excellent clinical outcome when compared to BPTB [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Although recent studies also show that there is no difference in functional outcomes and laxity when using either type of graft in female patients or when used for revision surgery, the choice of graft may depend on surgeon preference with hamstring graft being more popular among the two [7,8]. The normal ACL is about 11 mm in thickness in an adult, and for reconstruction a graft no less than 7 mm is recommended, as the graft strength is known to be related to the cross-sectional diameter and revision surgery rate [9,10].…”

Purpose Pre-operative knowledge of hamstring graft size for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL) is of clinical importance and useful in making appropriate decisions about graft choice. This study investigated if there is any correlation between anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, body mass index, thigh length, and circumference with the size of hamstring tendon graft in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods The anthropometric data of 50 consecutive adult males, who underwent primary ACL reconstruction using quadruple hamstring autograft, were collected prospectively. Data analysis using Pearson's correlation test was performed and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to investigate any correlation not detected by Pearson's test and to eliminate confounders. Results Patient's height and thigh length demonstrated a positive correlation with gracilis graft length (r = .464, P = .001, r = .456, P = .001, respectively) and semitendinosus graft length (r = .541, P = 000, r = .578, P = .000, respectively). While the patient's age was the only independent factor which had a positive correlation with the quadrupled hamstring graft diameter (r = .412, P = .004), multiple regression analysis showed abdominal girth had a significant negative correlation with gracilis (P = .04) and semitendinosus (P = .006) graft thickness. Conclusion This study demonstrated that some anthropometric measurements had a positive correlation with the hamstring graft length and diameter in male patients. Hence, these results provide preliminary support for the use of some anthropometric measurements in the preoperative planning and prediction of the hamstring graft length and diameter in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
