Determinants of regeneration and strength of hamstrings after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction —fate of hamstring tendon

ConclusionsIt was found that the properties of musculotendinous units of ST and G were significantly transformed after their harvesting for ACL reconstruction and these weaknesses contribute to the flexion deficit of knee in the deeper range of flexion in the operated limb. Therefore, approaches facilitating tendon regeneration and preservation must be warranted.
