Sagittal Inclination Angle of the Graft Affects Graft Maturity and Knee Stability After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
A low SIA is not conducive to graft maturation after ACL reconstruction. A larger graft SIA was correlated with better postoperative knee stability. However, the effect of the SIA on joint function was only significant in terms of symptoms. Therefore, these new findings provide new ideas for preoperative assessment and intraoperative determination of the ideal graft inclination.
