March 17, 2026 updated by: Fevzi Gurkan Aslan, Karadeniz Technical University

Anthropometric Predictability of Full-Thickness Peroneus Longus and Semitendinosus Autograft Size: A Comparative Analysis

The study is aimed to determine correlation between autografts used in anterior cruciate ligaments and anthropometric variables e.g. height, sex, weight, BMI etc..

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Categorical data: Age, Sex, Height, Weight, BMI, Preoperative parameters: cruris length, cruris circumference, thigh length, thigh circumference Intraoperative Info: Tendon Type, Tendon length (total-muscular part-tendinoz part), Graft Length, Graft Diameter.

After the data collected, correlation analysis will be held and determine the both tendons preoperative size predictability before acl reconstruction surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation Between Preoperative Anthropometric Variables and Autograft Dimensions
Time Frame: Intraoperatively
To assess the correlation between preoperative anthropometric measurements and intraoperative autograft dimensions
Intraoperatively

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comparison of Predictability Between Peroneus Longus and Semitendinosus Tendons
Time Frame: Preoperatively at surgery day
To determine whether the predictability of tendon dimensions based on anthropometric variables,height(cm), weight(kg), BMI(kg/m^2), cruris length(cm), and circumference(cm) for estimating tendon and graft size before surgery, differs between peroneus longus and semitendinosus autografts.
Preoperatively at surgery day
Predictability of Autograft Dimensions Based on Preoperative Anthropometric Data
Time Frame: Intraoperatively
To evaluate the predictive power of anthropometric variables (height(cm), weight(kg), BMI(kg/m^2), cruris length(cm), and circumference(cm)) for estimating tendon and graft size(cm) before surgery.
Intraoperatively
