Abstract

Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common surgical procedures in orthopaedic sports medicine. Despite this, graft selection remains controversial with various regional, institutional, and individual preferences and trends. The traditional autograft options for reconstruction have been hamstring tendon and bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autografts. Recently, quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts have garnered significant interest and appear promising because of their biomechanical properties and stability on clinical outcomes, and have less donor site morbidity compared with BTB. In this review, recent developments in QT autograft research are discussed and future directions which may clarify the appropriate role of quadriceps grafts in ACL reconstruction are explored.
