OBJECTIVE@#To study the corretation between the cross-sectional area of hamstring tenden measured by MRI and gragt in
anterior cruciate ligament rexonstruction.@*
METHODS @#MRI data of 50
patients who planned to undergo
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction from November 2021 to March 2022 were collected, including 32
males and 18
females ,
aged from 19 to 48 years old with an average of(31.1±8.7) years. Before the operation, the
semitendinosus and gracilis
tendons were measured and recorded by MRI, and then the
anterior cruciate ligament was reconstructed under
arthroscope . During the operation, gracilis and
semitendinosus tendons were taken to prepare the final
tendon to be transplanted, and the diameter of the prepared final
graft was measured during the operation. Finally, the data were analyzed by statistical
software .@*RESULTS@#The cross sectional areas of
semitendinosus tendon , gracilis
tendon, semitendinosus tendon and gracilis
tendon measured by MRI were significantly and positively correlated with the diameter of
grafts required in
anterior cruciate ligament surgery , the r values were 0.858, 0.728, 0.842(P<0.001), respectively. The area under curre (
AUC ),
sensitivity , and
specificity of the sum of the cross sectional areas of
semitendinosus tendon and gracilis
tendon were 0.925, 90.48%, and 85.71%, respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#In
patients undergoing
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction , preoperative MRI measurement has a strong statistical correlation with the diameter of
hamstring muscle transplantation during operation. The sum of the cross sectional areas of
semitendinosus tendon and gracilis
tendon has a high predictive value for the diameter of
grafts during
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction , and can predict the size of
grafts during operation.
