Serial Changes in Graft Diameter Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Allograft
< 0.001). Regarding the correlation analyses, the graft diameter measurements at the proximal, middle, and distal sites across the 3 different time points were not significantly correlated with the postoperative results.ConclusionThe graft diameter demonstrated a unimodal peak at 1 year postoperatively, followed by a gradual decrease until 2 years; however, it remained thicker at 2 years than immediately after surgery. These changes were not correlated with postoperative patients' reported outcomes and stability.
