Magnetic resonance imaging after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A practical guide

Figure 12 Natural history of Gracilis and Semitendinosus harvesting. Two years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a 21-year-old male, in the axial view it is possible to appreciate a well represented “pes anserinus” with regenerated Sartorius fascia (black asterisk), Gracilis tendon (red asterisk) and hypertrophic Semitendinosus tendon (white asterisk) (A). Conversely, seven years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a 35-year-old male, it is possible to identify the Sartorius fascia (black asterisk) with a thin and hypotrophic Gracilis (red asterisk) and Semitendinosus (white asterisk) tendons (B).
