Transphyseal anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using living parental donor hamstring graft: excellent clinical results at 2  years in a cohort of 100 patients

ConclusionsACL reconstruction in the juvenile with living parental hamstring tendon allograft is a viable procedure associated with excellent clinical stability, patient-reported outcomes and return to sport over 2  years. Further ACL injury to the reconstructed and the contralateral knee remains a significant risk, with identical prevalence observed between the reconstructed and contralateral ACL between 12 and 24 months after surgery.Level of evidenceIII (Cohort Study).
