Open Full-Thickness Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Harvest With Repair for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Historically, one of the most common graft choices for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the pediatric population has been the hamstring autograft. Although pediatric ACL reconstructions with a hamstring autograft have allowed a majority of children and adolescents to return to athletics, it has been reported that anywhere between 6% and 38% of these patients will go on to experience subsequent graft rupture. The quadriceps tendon autograft is an alternative to the hamstring tendon autograft that demonstrates superior preliminary outcomes, and we currently recommend it for skeletally immature patients undergoing primary and revision ACL reconstruction. This paper aims to describe our technique for an open full-thickness quadriceps tendon harvest with repair.

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.

All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Full-Thickness All-Soft-Tissue Quadriceps Tendon Autograft With Independent Suture Tape Augmentation.

Project description:The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured knee ligament that requires surgical intervention. Surgical options to address ACL ruptures include reconstruction using autograft or allograft or performing primary repair. Subsequent ACL graft failure is a significant postoperative concern in the younger patient population. The addition of suture tape to the final construct is thought to protect the graft during moments of high stress by increasing graft stiffness under high load and preventing substantial graft elongation. Given the normal anatomic lengthening of the ACL from knee flexion to full extension, final fixation of both the suture tape and the graft is done with the knee hyperextended to avoid overconstraint. The use of adjustable loop fixation for both femoral and tibial fixation with the all-inside technique allows the graft to be retensioned after final suture tape fixation and subsequent knee cycling. This ensures that the suture tape is slightly laxer than the graft so that the graft experiences loads that are essential for its healing, with the suture tape sharing the load only during times of high stress.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Basics: Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Autograft Harvest.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft has long been considered the graft preference for young, active patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. The central-third of the native patellar tendon is a reliable graft and is the preferred option for competitive athletes given its excellent track record with high return-to-play rates and low failure rates. Disadvantages to using this graft include donor site morbidity and associated postoperative anterior knee pain, the risk of patellar fracture or patellar tendon tear, and the potential for graft-construct mismatch. In this Technical Note, we describe our preferred technique for bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft harvest and preparation for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

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.

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.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Quadriceps Tendon-Patellar Bone Autograft and Dual Tibial Fixation.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament ruptures are a relatively common injury in the athletic population, and surgical reconstruction is often indicated to restore knee stability. While hamstring tendon and patellar bone-tendon-bone autografts are a well-established graft choice in this population, there has been a growing body of literature supporting the benefits of quadriceps tendon autograft. Our technique illustrates a full-thickness quadriceps tendon-patellar bone autograft with dual tibial fixation using an interference screw and backup suspensory anchor fixation.

Biologically Augmented Quadriceps Tendon Autograft With Platelet-Rich Plasma for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most common procedures studied in the orthopaedic literature. In this regard, graft preparation is a key factor for successful outcomes. Although current methods to reconstruct the ACL are generally perceived to be successful, recent studies indicate that normal structure and function of the knee are fully restored in less than half of the patients. Therefore, biologically augmenting these scaffolds could provide a potential solution for improving healing times and biomechanical properties of the graft. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique for an ACL graft preparation (quadriceps tendon) augmented with platelet-rich plasma.

Systematic Review of Publications Regarding Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Use in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:PurposeTo perform a systematic review with quantitative and qualitative analysis of publications to date focusing on the use of quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to define the regional variability, type of publication, level of evidence, journal of publication, and type of QT graft used.MethodsThe PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were systematically queried for journal articles relating to QT autografts used for ACL reconstruction through 2018. These publications were filtered for relevance and then analyzed and differentiated by publication characteristics.ResultsMost articles were published in the United States and Europe, and most articles evaluating clinical outcomes were Level of Evidence III. Over 60% of the publications (115 of 187) focusing on QT for ACL reconstruction were published within the past 10 years, and 30% (56 of 187) were published within the past 3 years. The results not only showed a recent increase in the number of publications regarding QT as a choice for the autograft harvest site in ACL reconstruction over time, but also yielded informative data regarding the publication journal, country or region, and level of evidence.ConclusionsThis evaluation shows the increasing interest in the scientific evaluation of QT as a source of autograft tissue for ACL reconstruction.Clinical relevanceIncreased production of high-quality research will allow surgeons to feel more confident in their use of the QT as an autograft option in ACL reconstruction.
