Abstract
Background: The type of the graft in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is still argument which one is the best regarding hamstring or bone tendon bone graft. Peroneus longus (PL) tendon is emerging good alternative choice in such type of surgery.
Methods: Study done on 30 patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using PL graft and evaluated after 2 years with lysholm knee score and American orthopedic foot and ankle disability index.
Results: Two year of surgery, the result 86-95% (good to excellent) in 22 cases (73.3%), 6 (20%) patients with 80-85% (fair to good), and 2 (6.6%) cases with 70% (poor) score without any new insult on the knee. American foot and ankle score was 100 in all 28 patients (93.3) and 96 only in 2 cases (6.6%).
Conclusion: Good size of the graft and low donor site morbidity as well as good functional outcome may make the PL graft is a favorable graft choice in ACLR.
