Free Bone Plug Quadriceps Tendon Harvest and Suspensory Button Attachment for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

The most commonly used autografts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are the bone–patellar tendon–bone and hamstring tendons. Each has its advantages and limitations. The bone–patellar tendon–bone autograft can lead to more donor-site morbidity, and the hamstring autograft can be unpredic...

description The most commonly used autografts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are the bone–patellar tendon–bone and hamstring tendons. Each has its advantages and limitations. The bone–patellar tendon–bone autograft can lead to more donor-site morbidity, and the hamstring autograft can be unpredictable in size. The quadriceps tendon, with or without a bone block, has been described as an alternative graft source and has been used especially in revision cases, but in recent years, it has attracted attention even for primary cases. We report a technique for harvesting a free bone quadriceps tendon graft and attaching an extracortical button for femoral fixation for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
