Impact of Hamstring Graft on Hamstring Peak Torque and Maximum Effective Angle After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: An Exploratory and Preliminary Study.
Purpose: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using the hamstring graft is commonly performed to restore knee stability; however, it induces significant neuromuscular and biomechanical changes, particularly in the hamstring. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in maximum effective angle, hamstring strength, and hamstring-to-quadriceps (H/Q) strength ratio at 3 and 6 months post-ACLR and compare these outcomes to a control group.
Methods: This prospective controlled study included 20 ACLR patients and 20 age- and gender-matched controls. Hamstring peak torque, maximum effective angle (MEA), and the H/Q ratio were assessed using isokinetic dynamometry at 60°/s. The ACLR group was evaluated postoperatively at 3 and 6 months, while the control group underwent a single evaluation.
Results: At 3 and 6 months, the ACLR group exhibited significantly lower MEA (26.3° ± 8.2 and 28.2° ± 9.4) compared to the control group (36.4° ± 12.0; p < 0.01). Hamstring peak torque and H/Q ratios were also lower in the ACLR group but showed slight improvements over time. The H/Q ratio increased significantly between 3 and 6 months (51% to 56%; p = 0.041).
Conclusion: The use of hamstring graft in ACLR leads to persistent MEA and strength deficits despite rehabilitation. Advanced, targeted rehabilitation protocols are essential to address these deficits, optimize recovery, and reduce the risk of reinjury.

Aims
Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of bioengineering. It publishes original research papers, comprehensive reviews, communications and case reports. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. All aspects of bioengineering are welcomed from theoretical concepts to education and applications. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, four key features of this Journal:
● We are introducing a new concept in scientific and technical publications “The Translational Case Report in Bioengineering”. It is a descriptive explanatory analysis of a transformative or translational event. Understanding that the goal of bioengineering scholarship is to advance towards a transformative or clinical solution to an identified transformative/clinical need, the translational case report is used to explore causation in order to find underlying principles that may guide other similar transformative/translational undertakings.
● Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed.
● Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
● We also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.
