Since harvesting bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autografts is a potential risk factor for decreased patellar height, we examined changes in patellar height after anatomical ACLR with BTB autograft with a focus on the size of the harvested graft. Methods:Subjects were 84 patients (49 males, 35 ...
The prevalence of patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis (OA) ranges from 8-47% 7-10 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLR) using bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autograft. In performing BTB ACLR, some hypothesize that either trauma caused by harvest of the patellar bone...
