However, current studies of donor site morbidity have reported discrepant results. This study used ultrasound imaging to evaluate morphologic changes in the patellar tendon after harvest for ACL reconstruction. Methods: Twenty-nine patients who had undergone successful ACL reconstruction with patellar tendon graft more than 1 year previously were enrolled in the study. Ultrasound imaging was used to compare the width, thickness, and tissue reaction of patellar tendons between the operated and contralateral sides. Results: The operated side was 4.8% wider on average than the contralateral side (p<0.05). The operated side was also 58.3% thicker on average (p<0.0001), with irregular margins and heterogenous echogenecity. Conclusion: The donor site of the patellar tendon was significantly wider and thicker and was heterogenous when examined on sonogram more than 1 year postoperatively. |
