In a prospective study on ACL reconstruction we treated 17 patients with a central third-bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft (PT group) and 32 patients with a doubled semitendinosus/doubled gracilis autograft (HS group). Patients were reviewed at 6 weeks, and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and the groups compared. Up till 6 months, the KT-1000 side-to-side difference was significantly greater in the HS group (P < 0.05) and at 6 and 12 months isokinetic hamstrings strength was lower (P < 0.05). No significant differences were noted at any stage with respect to quadriceps strength, functional scores, range of motion, or swelling.
