The quadriceps tendon is an excellent graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It is a broad, thick tendon, and a graft 10 to 12 mm quad, 8 to 12 mm thick, and up to 100 mm in length can be obtained. The harvest of the tendon avoids many other problems associated ...
There are two grafts commonly used to repair a torn ACL. One is a strip of the patellar tendon below the kneecap. The other is the hamstring tendon graft. For a long time, the patellar tendon was the preferred choice because it is easy to get to, holds well in its new location, and...
We measured the initial fixation strength of a new graft, bone-hamstring-bone (BHB), for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament () in 79 porcine knees and compared it with that of the normal porcine and of the bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPB) graft. All specimens were subjected to...
We hypothesize that by further increasing the folds and using a six fold tendon graft will improve outcome. Also a six fold graft will have a larger cross sectional area and will be biomechanically more strong thus improving the knee stabilitySancheti, Parag K...

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...
The presentation studied the midterm results evaluation of using LARS artificial ligament to augment short & small-sized harvested hamstring tendons in the treatment of ACL-deficient knees aiming for having benefits of early graft revascularisation, remodeling, to fulfill ligamentisation, Ensure long-...
Quad tendon donor tissue, extra-articular augmentation, precise anatomic placement, and meniscus and articular cartilage repair in knees that are unstable. Non-operative care for those knees that meet the criteria of low demand or minimal instability on testing. Primary surgical repair for the select...
