Abstract:Objective To compare the clinical effect of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon (HT) and autologous peroneus longus tendon (PLT).Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury from August 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Including 26 males and 30 females. Among them, 20 patients were treated with autologous PLT for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PLT group), and the remaining 36 patients were treated with HT for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (HT group). Before operation, 6 months and 12 months after operation, the operation time, incision length, meniscus injury, injury time and body mass index (BMI) of all patients were analyzed, and International Knee Document Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, Tegner score and knee joint motor function were evaluated.Results The operative time and incision length were longer in HT group than in PLT group, there were significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05); There were significant differences in IKDC score, Lysholm score and Tegner score before operation compared with 6 months and 12 months after operation in the two groups (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between 6 months and 12 months after operation in the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Compared with hamstring tendon reconstruction, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autologous PLT takes less time, has less trauma, and is more beautiful. Besides, the operation is simple, the complications are fewer, and the postoperative efficacy is definite. Therefore, autologous PLT can be used as a graft to replace HT for anterior cruciate ligament rupture reconstruction.
