Physiologic Preoperative Knee Hyperextension Is Not Associated With Postoperative Laxity, Subjective Knee Function, or Revision Surgery After ACL Reconstruction With Hamstring Tendon Autografts
Preoperative passive contralateral knee hyperextension (≤-5°) was not associated with postoperative anterior knee laxity, subjective knee function, or revision surgery ≤5 years after ACLR using HT autografts. Therefore, the presence of knee hyperextension alone should not be considered a contraindication per se for the use of HT autografts in ACLR.
