STABILITY Study Demonstrates Performance of Five-Strand Hamstring Autograft ACL Reconstruction

A subgroup analysis of the original STABILITY study for ACL reconstructions has been published online in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, featuring UBC Clinical Instructor Dr. Parth Lodhia, UBC Professor Emeritus Dr. Robert McCormack, Western University Assistant Professor Dr. Alan Getgood, and Western University Professor Dr. Dianne Bryant, as well as the entire STABILITY group.

The analysis has shown that the five-strand hamstring autograft ACL reconstruction configuration performs similarly to the traditional four-strand configuration, and is a viable option to increase graft diameter in cases where the traditional 4-strand configuration may not yield an acceptable graft diameter.

The open-access article is available online in Volume 50, Issue 13 of the American Journal of Sports Medicine at https://doi.org/10.1177/03635465221128581.
