Purpose
Use of autogenous patellar tendons or a semitendinosus tendon of the femur muscle as a graft for to reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) they are recognized as a very successful procedure for stabilizing the knee joint (1-3).
However,
rehabilitation following reconstruction of the ACL of the knee using autogenous patellar tendon graft (BTB) or semitendinosus tendon femur muscle (ST) can be complicated by the residual morbidity after the graft harvest (4-5).
Unfortunately,
all the reports presented to date on this issue are controversial and do not allow to objectively judge the nature of the process,
which makes difficult not only the preparation of rehabilitation programs,
but also the choice of the target audience of patients for autoplasty of ACL (6-10).
The study objectives: examination of structural changes of the donor site healing after ACL graft harvesting from the middle third of the patella tendon and tendons of semitendinosus muscle of the femur.
