Methods: We enrolled 20 patients (13 men and seven women) who underwent DB-ACLR between October 2017 and March 2019. The mean patient age was 28.5 years. The ipsilateral ST tendon was measured using ultrasonography before surgery. Measurements included the diameter and breadth of the short-axis image. The cross-sectional area (CSA) was calculated from these measurements. During surgery, when two grafts with diameters of ≥ 5.0 mm could not be made, the G tendon was also harvested. Patients were categorized into two groups: the ST group where only the ST tendon was harvested, and the semitendinosus gracilis tendon (STG) group where the ST and G tendons were both harvested. The CSA value was compared between the two groups, and the cutoff value was calculated. Results: In the ST group (n = 8), the mean diameter and breadth of the semitendinosus tendon were 4.21 and 2.34 mm, respectively. In the STG group (n = 12), the mean diameter and breadth of the ST tendon were 3.39 and 1.78 mm, respectively.The CSAs calculated for the ST group and the STG group were 7.74 mm 2 and 4.79 mm 2, respectively. A cutoff value of 7.0 mm 2was found to correspond to a specificity and sensitivity to harvest the G tendon of 87.5% and 75.0%, respectively. Conclusions The preoperative CSA of the ST tendon determined using ultrasonography can, therefore, be informative for deciding whether to harvest the G tendon for DB-ACLR. The results of this study provide valuable information for graft selection in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Level of Evidence: IV (Retrospective case series design).
