Comparable Mid- to Long-term Outcomes of Semitendinosus and Semitendinosus/Gracilis Grafts in ACL Reconstruction: Median 8-Year (Range, 5-10 Years) Results From a Randomized Controlled Study
No statistically significant differences were found between the ST group and the ST/G group in terms self-reported function, knee laxity, or need for secondary surgery at median 8 years (range, 5-10 years) after surgery. The ST-only graft configuration did not increase the risk of graft failure or excessive residual laxity compared with the ST/G graft configuration.
