Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With a Partial-Thickness Quadriceps Tendon Graft Secured With a Continuous-Loop Fixation Device.


ABSTRACT: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft has recently gained popularity because newer techniques allow harvest of a robust graft with little soft-tissue dissection or donor-site morbidity. The QT graft can provide a safe, reproducible, and versatile option for primary and revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with equivalent outcomes and failure rates to those of bone-patellar tendon-bone and hamstring tendon grafts. Therefore, continued improvement in surgical technique may help to further improve patient outcomes. This study introduces a modification of current QT techniques using a partial-thickness graft with continuous-loop EndoButton fixation (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA).
