OBJECTIVE: To compare the incidence of peri-incisional @entity809 according to the skin incision technique for hamstring tendon graft harvest in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. METHODS: Thirty-three @entity1 with @entity397 were separated in two groups: group 1, with 19 @entity1 submitted to the oblique skin incision to access the hamstrings and group 2-14 @entity1 operated by vertical skin incision technique. The selected @entity1 were assessed after surgery. Demographic data and prevalence of @entity809 was measured by digital pressure around the skin incision and classified according to the Highet scale. RESULTS: The total rate of @entity809 was 42% (14 @entity1 ). Five @entity1 (26%) on the oblique incision group reported @entity809 symptoms. On the group submitted to the vertical incision technique, the involvement was 64% (nine @entity1 ). On the 33 knees evaluated, the superior lateral area was the most affected skin region, while the superior medial and inferior medial regions were affected in only one @entity1 (7.1%). No statistical differences between both groups were observed regarding @entity1 ' weight, age, and height   as well as skin incision length. CONCLUSION: @entity1 who underwent reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using the oblique access technique had five times lower incidence of peri-incisional @entity809 when compared with those in whom the vertical access technique was used.

Relationship between peri-incisional XXXX and the vertical and oblique incisions on the hamstrings harvest in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
