"Central" quadriceps tendon harvest with patellar bone plug: surgical technique revisited.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this article is to review the surgical technique for quadriceps tendon graft harvest while highlighting an additional technical note that has not been previously emphasized. The quadriceps tendon typically inserts eccentrically on the superior pole of the patella. By shifting the soft-tissue harvest to a location just off the medial edge of the tendon, the adjoining patellar bone plug will be centered on the superior pole of the patella, reducing the risk of an iatrogenic patellar fracture.

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

Project 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.

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.

Our Preferred Technique for Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Allograft Preparation.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an increasingly common procedure as orthopaedic patients seek to remain active longer in life, resulting in more ligamentous knee injuries. Graft selection is at the forefront of decision making in knee reconstruction, with advantages and disadvantages to various grafts, including allograft to autograft. Although the gold standard for the ACL reconstruction of elite athletes and highly active patients has traditionally been bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft (BTB), this graft is not without its disadvantages, such as increased operative time, increased postoperative pain, potential for anterior knee pain, larger incision, violation of the extensor mechanism, and potentially kneeling pain. Soft tissue autografts (hamstring, quadriceps) offer a good alternative; however, they may be associated with higher rerupture rates, as well as associated donor site morbidity. Additionally, soft tissue allografts have a higher graft rupture rate. For this reason, it is the senior author's preference to perform allograft ACL reconstruction with BTB allograft in appropriately selected patients. We describe our technique for an efficient and reproducible BTB allograft preparation.

Medial Quadriceps Tendon Femoral Ligament Reconstruction Technique and Surgical Anatomy.

Project description:Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction risks patellar fracture with the osseous violation necessary for patellar attachment. Anatomic studies identify an entire medial patellofemoral complex of structures responsible for medial restraint to patellar lateral instability. One specific component of this complex is the medial quadriceps tendon femoral ligament (MQTFL). This note presents the technique, pearls and pitfalls, and critical surgical anatomy necessary for successful MQTFL reconstruction-a treatment strategy for patellar instability with no increased risk for patellar fracture. An autograft hamstring tendon or allograft tendon is fixed to the anatomically identified femoral origin and passed deep to the vastus medialis obliquus to then weave around the distal medial quadriceps tendon. This simulates the native anatomic interdigitation of the MQTFL with the quadriceps tendon and provides a stable restraint to prevent lateral patellar subluxation or dislocation.

Surgical Technique to Bring Down the Patellar Height and to Reconstruct the Tendon for Chronic Patellar Tendon Rupture.

Project description:Although surgical treatment is the gold standard for chronic patellar tendon rupture, the technique of patellar tendon reconstruction is still difficult. Basically, good clinical results of surgical repair for acute patellar tendon rupture have been reported. However, the results of reconstructive surgery for chronic patellar tendon rupture are still inconsistent. Some surgical options have been previously reported. For example, surgeons need to choose between 1- and 2-stage reconstruction. Furthermore, contralateral bone-tendon-bone graft, ipsilateral semitendinosus tendon graft, Achilles tendon allograft, and an artificial ligament have been used to reconstruct the patellar tendon. Generally, surgeons are concerned about postoperative complications, including loss of knee flexion, quadriceps weakness, and wound problems. One of the key points to avoid these complications is to improve proximal patellar migration. The purpose of this article is to present an easy and safe technique to bring down the patellar height with polyethylene tape and to reconstruct the patellar tendon with an artificial ligament. Although it has limitations, the described technique can facilitate reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon rupture.

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.

Minimally Invasive Anterior Cruciate Ligament With Quadriceps Tendon Graft: A Proximal-to-Distal Harvest Technique.

Project description:Recent systematic reviews have shown anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon (QT) grafts to have superior clinical outcomes compared with traditional bone-patella tendon-bone and hamstring tendons grafts. Using minimally invasive techniques to harvest the QT graft can reduce postoperative pain and intraoperative surgical time. This technique is usually performed with a distal-to-proximal approach but often has issues of inadvertently harvesting a graft short of the desired length or causing a hematoma. As an alternative, we introduce a minimally invasive approach with a proximal-to-distal harvest technique that results in better visualization of tissue planes, more consistent graft sizes, lower risk of inadvertent arthrotomy, and reduced risk of hematoma. The minimally invasive QT graft harvest with a proximal-to-distal approach can offer unique advantages over the current standard distal-to-proximal approach.

Minimally invasive harvest of a quadriceps tendon graft with or without a bone block.

Project description:The quadriceps tendon (QT) as a graft source for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has recently achieved increased attention. Although many knee surgeons have been using the QT as a graft for ACL revision surgery, it has never gained universal acceptance for primary ACL reconstruction. The QT is a very versatile graft that can be harvested in different widths, thicknesses, and lengths. Conventionally, the QT graft is harvested by an open technique, requiring a 6 to 8 cm longitudinal incision, which often leads to unpleasant scars. We describe a new, minimally invasive, standardized approach in which the QT graft can be harvested through a 2- to 3-cm skin incision and a new option of using the graft without a bone block.

A Modified Surgical Technique of Patellar Tendon Reconstruction in Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Achilles Tendon Allograft.

Project description:Patellar tendon disruption is one of the most dreaded complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) impacting joint function and implant longevity. Management of this condition remains controversial, and no one treatment has provided consistent clinical success. Here we propose a modified technique from the standard Achilles allograft procedure to reconstruct a ruptured patellar tendon after TKA. A fresh-frozen Achilles tendon allograft with attached calcaneal bone graft was used. Our technique offers the advantage of a more stable graft fixation by relying on both quadriceps tendon and transosseous patellar fixation and bone-to-bone allograft fixation to the tibial tuberosity. The patient regained full extension and discontinued walking aids postoperatively. Careful attention to graft preparation, tensioning, stable graft fixation, and postoperative rehabilitation led to encouraging results in this complex problem.
