Comparison of medium-term revision rates after autograft and allograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

CONCLUSION: Each type of graft used for treatment is associated with certain advantages and disadvantages. Hamstring autografts and allografts were the most commonly used grafts during the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries carried out at our clinics. The rate of re-rupture was quite low with use of both graft types, leading us to believe that the type of graft preferred for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery should be based on a common decision of the surgeon and patient.
