While morbidity of hamstring harvesting has been extensively studied in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, no study has assessed the impact of this autograft on muscle recovery in ankle ligament reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate short\u2010term hamstring recovery using isokinetic tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All patients operated on for chronic lateral ankle instability by arthroscopic anatomic ligament reconstruction, who underwent isokinetic testing of hamstring function at the time of return to sports, were included. Isokinetic tests were performed in a standardized manner. Primary outcome was concentric hamstring strength at 60\u00b0\/s, compared to the contralateral limb with the Limb Symmetry Index (LSI). Secondary outcomes included concentric quadriceps strength at 60\u00b0\/s, muscle balance measured by hamstring\u2010to\u2010quadriceps ratio and a functional assessment of the operated ankle by jump tests. A subgroup analysis was performed on isokinetic testing according to sport level.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twenty\u2010nine patients were included (34% engaged in competitive sports). At 9 months, satisfactory hamstring recovery was observed in 52% of patients (mean LSI of 92%). Regarding the quadriceps, 83% of patients had a satisfactory recovery (mean LSI of 99.6%). The mean hamstring\u2010to\u2010quadriceps muscle balance was 55% on the operated side and 59% on the healthy side. Competitive athletes showed significantly lower hamstring strength loss (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.005) and more balanced hamstring\u2010to\u2010quadriceps ratios compared to recreational athletes (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.05).
