The surgical technique is demanding and has a learning curve, but with meticulous surgery, complications are rare. The QT is a reasonable alternative for ACL reconstruction and could be an important graft source for primary ACL reconstruction in the future....
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone plug-free quadriceps tendon autograft: intermediate-term clinical outcome after 24-36 months. (1.8%), the result was poor, while the rest were fair.ACL reconstruction using a bone plug-free quadriceps tendon autograft achieved satisfactory results ....
but the peroneus longus tendon can also be used. This study aimed to compare outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in 106 patients using peroneus longus tendon and hamstring tendon autografts.
Material/Methods: In this comparative study, all cases of isolated ACL reconstruction using 4-strand hamstring tendon in 2006–2010 were evaluated for eligibility. Of 266 patients, 124 cases (60 TT and 64 AMP), with the mean age of 28.48±8.3, met the inclusion criteria. Both groups were ...
When the tendon is put into your knee, it’s known as a graft. Three types of grafts can be used with ACL surgery: Autograft.Your doctor uses a tendon from somewhere else in your body (like your other knee, hamstring, or thigh). ...
The technique of quadrupled semitendinosus autograft for reconstruction using the EndoButton for femoral fixation has been described. Dr. Rosenberg, this article's senior author, has used this for over 10 years with no known instance of fixation failure at the femur or tibia. This technique using ...
d. Autograft quad tendon? 4. What percent of revisions are: (total 100 %) a. Single-bundle? b. Double-bundle? 5. What percent of your ACL reconstruction require: (total does not have to be 100 %) a. Meniscectomy? b. Meniscus repair? c. Meniscal transplant? d. Collateral ligament...
Extensive calcification of the patellar tendon following ACL reconstruction with central-third bone–patellar tendon–bone autograft is a rarely seen complication. A 45-year-old male patient underwent combined intraarticular reconstruction of ACL with 1/3 central patellar bone–tendon–bone graft and ext...
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 ...
ACL reconstruction surgery uses a graft to replace the ligament. The most common grafts are autografts, using part of your own body, such as the tendon of the kneecap (patellar tendon) or one of the hamstring tendons. Another choice is allograft tissue, which is taken from a deceased donor...
