Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging assessment of anatomical lateral ankle ligament reconstruction: comparison of tendon allograft and autograft

ConclusionBoth allograft and autograft reconstructions could get an ideal patient satisfaction and clinical functional outcomes at the follow-up. Higher T2* values were found in allograft group which indicated that autograft had some superiorities in respect of revascularization process, collagen structure, water content, and tendon properties.
