Changes in Muscle Morphology Resulting From Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

NCT01537588 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to gain new knowledge on the impact of hamstring tendon harvest and apply that knowledge to the treatment and management of patients who undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. There are three main components of this study:

1. How do muscle shape, size, strength, and ability to function change following hamstring grafting for ACL reconstruction;
2. How does physical activity change following ACL reconstruction;
3. Is there a difference in outcome if graft harvest is done from the injured versus uninjured limbs

Conditions

  • Isolated Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Interventions

OTHER

Autograft STG harvest from ACL-deficient leg

Semitendinosus-gracilis graft harvest is undertaken on same limb that is undergoing ACL reconstruction

OTHER

Autograft harvest contralateral to ACL-deficient leg

Semitendinosus-gracilis graft harvest is undertaken on limb contralateral to that undergoing ACL reconstruction
