Abstract
Introduction
Some literature use peroneus longus tendon (PLT) as the alternative to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to overcome inadequate autograft size potential risk by using hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. Among the available methods to predict PLT measurements, anthropometric parameters are one of the most accessible and feasible methods. The objective of this prospective study was to predict the PLT autograft sizes in single bundle ACL reconstruction by using preoperative anthropometric measurement.
Method
Anthropometric parameters, including age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), true leg length (TLL), shank circumference and shank length of 20 patients with primary ACL reconstruction was measured before surgery. Univariate analysis, independent-sample t-test, Pearson correlation test, and logistic regression to evaluate the influence of these anthropometric variables on the diameter and length of the PLT autograft obtained.
Result
Pearson correlation test has shown that body weight and height correlates to PLT length and diameter also autograft's length and diameter significantly (p < 0.05). The linear regression analysis showed that height, weight, TLL and shank length were signifcantly related to autograft diameter. While height and TLL were significantly related to autograft length.
Conclusion
Height, weight, TLL and shank length can use to predict PLT autograft diameter. While height and TLL can use to predict PLT autograft length.
It is important to estimate tendon graft size prior to ACL reconstruction surgery.
Preoperative anthropometric measurement is a good method to predict PLT autograft size.
Height is a good predictor of the PLT autograft diameter and length.
Patient less than 153 cm in height, high risk for having in adequate graft size.
