Resumen

Anterior knee instability associated with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a disabling clinical problem, especially in the athletic individual. Numerous authors have described successful reconstruction of ACL with autograft and allograft. The gracilis and semitendinosus tendon (T4) represent an alternative autograft donor material that may be used for reconstruction of the ACL without disturbance of the extensor mechanism. The aim of our study was to elaborate a CPG basis of “best evidence” and consensus among expert group that assists physiotherapists to make diagnostic conclusions and therapeutic decisions, to improve the quality and uniformity in care for ACL reconstruction with T4.
