Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare various pre-operative methods of estimating intra-operative hamstring autograft size. A retrospective review was completed on 74 patients who had an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction performed using a quadruple-looped hamstring autograft from July 2007-April 2015â¯at a single institution. A positive correlation was observed between intra-operative graft size and pre-operative imaging using two methods of MRI measurements. Correlation existed between hamstring size and patient height and weight, but not age or BMI. Thus, pre-operative MRI and anthropometric measurements can be used to estimate intra-operative hamstring graft size.
