Is There a Hamstring Autograft Diameter Threshold for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?
A 32% higher risk of revision was observed in smaller graft diameter groups (<8 or ≤8 mm) compared with larger graft sizes (≥8 or >8 mm), regardless of specific diameter cutoff. In a cohort of almost 6000 HA-ACLR, the authors were unable to determine a definitive minimum graft diameter threshold that should be used.
