Quadriceps-Bone-Block Autograft Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Tibial Interference Screw Aperture Fixation and Suture Tape Reinforcement.

ABSTRACT: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most common orthopaedic surgical procedures. The risk of clinical failure after isolated ACL reconstruction in high-risk populations is as high as 40% at 2 years postoperatively. Multiple strategies exist to decrease the risk of rerupture after ACL reconstruction, including manipulation of the graft source and diameter, optimization of the femoral and tibial tunnel position, addition of concomitant extra-articular procedures, and graft support with synthetic material. Independent graft reinforcement with a high-strength, nonabsorbable suture tape has become a popular, low-cost, low-morbidity technique to increase the graft yield strength, decrease graft stretching, improve clinical outcomes, and decrease rerupture rates.
