Abstract

Background: Predicting graft size using anthropometric characteristics will help surgeons easily choose the appropriate surgical method. Objectives: To describe some anthropometric characteristics and size of 5-strand semitendinosus and gracilis tendon grafts, investigate the correlation between anthropometric characteristics and size of 5-strand semitendinosus and gracilis tendon grafts, build formulas to estimate the graft size in patients who undergo arthroscopic knee ligament reconstruction. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in 43 patients who underwent arthroscopic knee ligament reconstruction using the semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft from April 2023 to April 2024 at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Results: The male: female ratio is 2:1; The average age is 35-year-old; The patient’s average weight was 68 kg and the average height is 166 cm; The average femur length is 41.31 ± 3.27 cm and the average thigh circumference is 46.84 ± 5.58 cm; The average graft length was 8.34 ± 0.83 cm and the average graft diameter was 7,81 ± 0.69 mm. There is a correlation between graft diameter and BMI, femur length (p < 0.05), between graft length and patient’s height (p < 0.05). The 5-strand semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft size can be predicted by using the regression equations: Graft diameter (mm) = 9.48 – 0.07 x BMI (p < 0.05). Graft diameter (mm) = 11.02 – 0.08 x Femur length (p < 0.05), Graft length (cm) = 1.39 + 0.04 x Patient’s height (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The size of the 5-strand hamstring graft can be predicted by measuring anthropometric indices (the patient’s height, BMI, and femur length). The graft diameter can be estimated by using the regression equation Graft diameter (mm) = 12.82 – 0.07 x BMI – 0.08 x Femur length (R2 = 25.5%).
