POSTER ABSTRACTS - ISAKOS

gracilis (HS) autograft (34 patients). The
postoperative rehabilitation regimen was identical
for both groups. All patients were examined one
year postoperatively. Objective parameters
evaluated included pre and postoperative IKDC
and Lysholm score, side-to-side KT-1000
maximum-manual arthrometer differences. The
Shelbourne score was used to evaluate anterior
knee symptoms. Loss of sensitivity in the anterior
knee region postoperatively as well as scar
sensitivity were also recorded.
Results: Three patients (10%) in the PT group had
anterior knee symptoms while only one (3%) in
the HS group. The mean Shelbourne score was 98
for the HS group and 93 for the PT group but this
was not statistically significant. However, 8
pateints (23%) had disturbed sensitivity in the
anterior knee region in the HS group, but none in
the PT group and this was statistically significant
