CLINICAL EVALUATION OF DONAR ANKLE SITE MORBIDITY AFTER HARVESTING PERONEUS LONGUS TENDON GRAFT FOR ARTHROSCOPIC ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

Background: . The goal of this study was to assess ankle and foot functions using clinical examination functional scores after harvesting autogenous peroneus longus tendon graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, with a 6 month follow-up period, focus on donor site morbidity. Due the synergistic action brevis, harvest is possible. Material Method: included 45 patients who underwent ACL reconstructionusing autograft endobutton fixation. Donor morbidity tendon-harvesting assessed VAS-FA. Results: Total cases were operated out which 34 male 11 female. Average thickness Peroneus obtained 8.6mm. length harvested in 283mm. None patient had any sign infection or wound dehiscence at site. gait abnormality instability. Our showed progressive increase VAS- FA score 99.71 ± 0.75 months. Conclusion: We found that there no significant worsening function via based overall findings current study. There substantial morbidity, motions comparable those contralateral healthy side.
