Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using a Fascia Lata Graft With FiberTape Augmentation.

ABSTRACT: Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most popular orthopedic surgical procedures. To date, numerous studies are available focusing on different reconstruction techniques using established autografts, such as hamstrings, bone patellar-tendon bone (BPTB), quadriceps tendon, or allograft tendons. In the present article, we describe a minimally invasive ACL reconstruction technique using a fascia lata autograft in combination with FiberTape (Arthrex, Naples, FL) augmentation using the TightRope II (Arthrex). The minimally invasive harvesting procedure is performed by using the new QuadPro Tendon Harvester (Arthrex). This technique is recommended for acute and chronic complete ACL ruptures or bundle ruptures in athletes or patients with high physical activity. Th
