Would you say that one type of graft was more suitable for different patients - that is, it's more suitable for different functional or lifestyle requirements?
"Our review, and a subsequent one, would indicate
that the type of surgery does not affect outcome and it often comes down
to personal choice and the expertise of the surgeon. Obvious things indicating
a Hamstring graft over a Patella tendon graft include occupations involving
kneeling as following a Patella tendon graft patients are rarely comfortable
to kneel for any length of time. A second factor is appearance; some patients
may not wish to have a scar on the anterior aspect of the knee for cosmetic
reasons."
