Minimally Invasive Harvesting of Triple-Fold Superficial Layer Quadriceps Autograft for Knee Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Graft selection plays a critical role in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Autograft options, including hamstrings, bone-patellar tendon-bone, and quadriceps, offer distinct advantages and disadvantages. Soft tissue quadriceps tendon autografts are increasingly favored due to their strength, size compatibility, and potential for enhanced graft healing. This technique offers minimal skin incision, a longer graft, and reduced morbidity, as it specifically targets the superficial band of the quadriceps tendon.

A Minimally Invasive Technique for Harvesting Quadriceps Tendon Autograft With a Bone Plug for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon (QT) was first described decades ago. Recent studies have demonstrated superior graft characteristics (diameter, strength, and stiffness) and reduced postoperative morbidity. However, limited instrumentation options currently available to surgeons allow for minimally invasive QT harvest with a bone plug. As an alternative to traditional QT harvest techniques, we describe a surgical technique allowing for minimally invasive QT autograft harvest with a bone plug (QuadVantage Technologies, Inc). This approach can offer technical advantages, including efficiency of graft harvest, reproducibility of procedure, and more consistent graft sizes.

Minimally Invasive Knee Lateral Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using Partial Biceps Femoris Tendon Autograft.

Project description:Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is known as an important ligament to restrain varus force of the knee, especially in 30° knee flexion. From the anatomical study, the insertion of LCL at proximal fibula is intimately close to the insertion of biceps femoris (BF) tendon. Since LCL is infrequently injured in isolation, and with limitation in availability of autograft and allograft, this study proposes the partial anterior BF tendon as an alternative autograft source to reconstruct the LCL. This could be performed either by minimally invasive procedure or standard open technique. The core concept is to preserve the posterior part of the BF tendon to protect the peroneal nerve, by which exploration of this nerve and the proximal fibula prior to LCL reconstruction could be exempted. Minimally invasive LCL reconstruction using this autograft would essentially reduce soft tissue injury, shorten the operative time, and enhance recovery of the reconstructed knee.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction : quadriceps versus patellar autograft.

Project description:The bone-patellar tendon-bone has been widely used and considered a good graft source. The quadriceps tendon was introduced as a substitute graft source for bone-patellar tendon-bone. We compared the clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions using central quadriceps tendon-patellar bone and bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts. We selected 72 patients who underwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone between 1994 and 2001 and matched for age and gender with 72 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon-patellar bone. All patients were followed up for more than 2 years. We assessed anterior laxity, knee function using the Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee scores, and quadriceps strength, the means of which were similar in the two groups. More patients (28 or 39%) in the bone-patellar tendon-bone group reported anterior knee pain than in the quadriceps tendon-patellar bone group (six patients or 8.3%). Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the central quadriceps tendon-patellar bone graft showed clinical outcomes comparable to those of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the patellar tendon graft, with anterior knee pain being less frequent in the former. Our data suggest the quadriceps tendon can be a good alternative graft choice.Level III Therapeutic study.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Using the Superficial Layer Quadriceps Tendon Graft: Surgical Technique Description.

Project description:We present a technique for the combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction using the superficial layer quadriceps tendon graft. Anatomic reconstruction is achieved with outside-in femoral tunnel drilling. The femoral drill guide has an intra-articular placement at the femoral footprint of the ACL and an extra-articular placement at the femoral ALL attachment. This surgical technique does not need any special instruments and consists of 3 bone tunnels. The long length and customized superficial quadriceps tendon graft is harvested in a minimally invasive manner and allows an accessible and low-cost reconstruction of both ligaments.

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Quadriceps Tendon-Patellar Bone Autograft.

Project description:Multiple surgical techniques for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction have been described and subsequently scrutinized. We describe a surgical technique using full-thickness quadriceps tendon-patellar bone autograft in single-bundle, all-inside posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction that offers the following advantages over traditional technique: This technique mitigates the risk of tunnel widening and convergence while preserving bone stock, eliminating the killer turn, allowing for suspensory cortical fixation to optimize stabilization, and using a bone plug that allows for faster graft incorporation.

A Minimally Invasive and Simple Technique of Superficial Quadriceps Tendon Graft Harvesting.

Project description:Quadriceps tendon (QT) graft is a versatile graft for anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Advantages of quadriceps tendon autograft are the superior quality of graft, customization of graft size, reduced anterior knee pain, reduced risk of neurovascular injury, reduced incidence of arthrofibrosis compared to BPTB graft, preservation of ACL agonists, i.e., hamstrings, implantation of thicker graft and better patella mobility. Considering its advantages over other available autografts, its popularity is now increasing among surgeons. Conventionally, quadriceps tendon graft is harvested by an open technique, which produces an ugly scar and delays rehabilitation. In this article, we describe a minimally invasive technique of quadriceps tendon graft harvesting with a 2-2.5-cm vertical skin incision. Our technique does not require any specialized instrumentation, unlike other reported minimally invasive QT graft harvesting techniques, as we harvest the graft with a close tendon stripper.

Anatomic All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Quadriceps Tendon Autograft.

Project description:All-inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has recently gained popularity, in part because of its bone-sparing socket preparation and reported lower pain levels after surgery. However, because this technique uses suture loops and cortical suspension buttons for graft fixation, it has mostly been limited to looped graft constructs (e.g., hamstring autograft, peroneus longus allograft). Quadriceps tendon autograft offers several advantages in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction but, until recently, has not been compatible with suture-loop and cortical suspensory fixation. We describe a technique that allows a relatively short (<75 mm) quadriceps tendon autograft (without bone block) to be used with established all-inside anatomic techniques.

Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Independent Suture Tape Reinforcement.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common among adolescent athletes and are rising with increased participation in higher level athletics at earlier ages. In these young patients, often with open physes, soft tissue grafts continue to be the primary graft choice for ACL reconstruction. Reinjury continues to be a concern in this high-risk age group, with failure rates 2 to 3 times higher than in adults. Recently, primary ACL reconstruction with suture tape augmentation/reinforcement has been described in both hamstring autografts and allografts. Purported advantages include protection of the graft during the revascularization and remodeling phase of incorporation. This Technical Note details a surgical technique of independent suture tape reinforcement during primary all soft tissue quadriceps tendon autograft ACL reconstruction using an all-inside technique.

Anatomic Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With a Free Quadriceps Tendon Autograft.

Project description:Anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction aims to restore the 2 functional bundles of the ACL in an attempt to better reproduce the native biomechanics of the injured knee and promote long-term knee health. However, this concept is not fully accepted and is not performed on a standard basis. In addition, the superiority of this technique over the conventional single-bundle technique has been questioned, especially the long-term clinical results. One of the down sides of the double-bundle reconstruction is the complexity of the procedure, with increased risks, operative time, and costs compared with the single-bundle procedure. Also, the revision procedure, if necessary, is more challenging. We propose a technique that has some advantages over the traditional double-bundle procedure, using a single femoral tunnel, 2 tibial tunnels, and a free quadriceps tendon autograft.

Minimally invasive reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament using quadriceps tendon.

Project description:Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) for the treatment of patellar instability has received increased attention over the past few years. Most operative techniques use hamstring grafts fixed with bone tunnels and/or anchors on the patella. Despite good clinical results using these techniques, complications such as implant breakage, patellar fractures through bone tunnels, and loss of knee motion have occurred. We present a minimally invasive technique for MPFL reconstruction using a strip of quadriceps tendon. With the use of specially designed instruments, the graft is harvested through a 3-cm transverse incision at the proximal pole of the patella. The tendon strip is then dissected distally on the patella, left attached, and diverged 90° medially underneath the medial prepatellar tissue. The graft is fixed on the femur in 20° of knee flexion in a bone tunnel with a bioabsorbable interference screw (adults) or a bone anchor (children). We think that this technique presents a valuable alternative to common hamstring techniques for primary MPFL reconstruction in children and adults, as well as for MPFL revision surgery.
