Abstract
Hybrid anterior cruciate ligament grafts augmenting a small-diameter hamstring tendon autograft with nonirradiated allografts can be used with good results in adults. In teens, however, outcomes of hybrid grafts have not been well defined, and other solutions to small hamstring grafts including graft folding, contralateral autograft augmentation, or selection of a different autograft source could be considered.
