The quadriceps tendon (QT) has recently become an acceptable graft option for primary and revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions. It offers good biomechanical strength, a large cross-sectional area, and an appropriate length. Patients who participate in pivoting and high valgus stres...
Anatomic ACL reconstruction with quadriceps tendon autograftS RabuckV MusahlFh FuRv West
Graft Selection: ACL reconstruction involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft. The graft can be an autograft (tissue from the patient's body) or an allograft (donor tissue). Common autograft options include the patellar, hamstring, or quadriceps tendon. Allografts are obtained from cadavers...

Researchers from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City evaluated graft maturity by comparing MRI signal intensity of quadriceps tendon autografts and hamstring tendon autografts used in primary ACL reconstruction. Their research was recently presented at the American Orthopaedic Society for Spor...

The patellar tendon graft has proven to be one of the strongest for ACL reconstruction. Patients who have this operation generally get back to their usual activities and sports. They often do so faster than people who have their ACL reconstructed with other types of tissue grafts. This guide ...
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Quadriceps Tendon Autograft: A Minimally Invasive Harvest Technique [Introduction][1] We describe a minimally invasive surgical technique for harvest of a quadriceps tendon autograft that reliably produces a graft suitable for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) r...
The intra-articular segment has been split into patellar tendon autograft, hamstring tendon autograft, and quadriceps tendon autograft. Patellar tendon autograft is standard and the most common procedure used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Moreover, hamstring tendon autograft is the most ...
