Introduction:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is the most common for athletes.
Materials And Methods:
ACL injury reconstruction is a pivotal surgical intervention aimed at restoring knee stability and function following ligamentous trauma.
Surgical Technique:
Advances in surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols have significantly improved outcomes and patient recovery rates. This paper reviews current trends, outcomes, and future directions in ACL reconstruction using peroneus longus and hamstring grafts and emphasizing innovations in surgical approaches and rehabilitation strategies.
Conclusion:
Peroneus longus grafts offer superior outcomes compared to hamstring grafts for ACL reconstruction. They provide enhanced graft strength and stability, potentially reducing the risk of re-injury. In addition, their use can lead to quicker recovery times and improved functional results for patients.
