Postoperative MRI findings, arthroscopic appearance, and tibial bone tunnel enlargement of cross-sectional area.
Graft intensity on MRI: low, iso, high (n) | |
---|---|
1 year | 3, 4, 0 (n = 7) |
2 years | 3, 2, 0 (n = 5) |
Arthroscopic appearance: A, B, C (n) | 7, 0, 0 |
Tibial bone tunnel enlargement of cross-sectional area (%) | |
1 year | 9.9 ± 40.9 (n = 7) |
2 years | 4.2 ± 25.5 (n = 5) |
The arthroscopic appearance of the synovium coverage of each graft was graded as A (completely covered), B (partially covered), or C (almost uncovered).
*Significant difference between 1 year and 2 years (P < 0.05).
