【 摘 要 】

Category:Ankle, SportsIntroduction/Purpose:Hamstring tendon autografts (gracilis and/or semitendinosus) may be used as an alternative to allograft or local tendon grafts in foot and ankle surgery, primarily for tendon or ligament repairs in which direct repair has failed or is not possible. Advantages of hamstring autografts include avoiding the expense and lower healing potential of allografts, as well as the morbidity associated with local tendon grafts. While hamstring harvest has been abundantly studied in the setting of concomitant knee surgeries, few authors have investigated its effects when used specifically for foot and ankle applications. We studied a cohort of patients who underwent hamstring harvest for foot and ankle applications, hypothesizing that morbidity to the knee would be limited and foot and ankle outcome scores would be good.Methods:All patients who underwent hamstring autograft for foot or ankle applications by a fellowship-trained sports surgeon since 2011 were screened for inclus...
