Incorporation of Hamstring Grafts Within the Tibial Tunnel After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Suspensory Fixation Versus Interference Screws

Conclusion: ASF provides more favorable conditions than RIS for the incorporation and ligamentization of 4ST grafts within the tibial tunnel. The ASF system used showed very little tunnel widening, which suggests that it grants stabilization. The SNQ was also considerably better in the ASF group.
