Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Surgical procedures to reconstruct torn ligaments, such as the anterior cruciate ligament, routinely utilize harvested tendon grafts like the hamstring, quadriceps, or peroneus longus tendons to restore joint stability.

The analysis

The claim states that surgical reconstruction procedures utilize tendon grafts instead of ligaments. The provided papers consistently describe ligament reconstruction surgeries (such as ACL reconstruction) using various tendon autografts (hamstring, quadriceps, peroneus longus) as the standard graft material. There is no evidence refuting this practice; the literature uniformly supports it.
