Regression modelling combining MRI measurements and patient anthropometry for patient screening and prediction of graft diameter in hamstring autograft arthroscopic ACL reconstruction

Conclusions An integrated method for assessing patient risk of producing a diminutive graft diameter and planning augmentation in select cases has been presented. The present findings describe a validated predictive model that builds on previous univariable analyses. Further investigation of larger samples, including factors associated with graft preparation, is required to improve model accuracy for routine clinical application. Level of evidence IV, Retrospective Cohort Study
