2. 6. On the semitendinosus tendon in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery

   Author : Karl O Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Semitendinosus; anterior cruciate ligament; tendon regeneration; MRI; muscle morphology; muscle biopsy; tendon-to-bone healing; donor site morbidity; functional outcome;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to address issues concerning the use of the semitendinosus tendon as an autologous transplant in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery. The specific objectives of the study concern the regenerative capability of the semitendinosus tendon following its harvest, the morphology and function of the semitendinosus muscle following harvesting of its tendon, the potential for ingrowth of the semitendinosus tendon graft into the bone tunnels, the early postoperative morbidity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a quadruple sernitendinosus graft as compared to the commonly used bone-patellar tendon-bone graft and, finally, the outcome at a minimum 2-year follow-up on comparing the sernitendinosus tendon graft with the bone-patellar tendon-bone graft.
