Abstract

Quadriceps tendon (QT) graft utilization for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has gained popularity among surgeons lately, due to the favorable biomechanical characteristics and clinical results. The growing interest in this graft has resulted in the development of minimal invasive harvesting techniques. Nevertheless, QT graft harvesting is considered a technically demanding procedure with a steep learning curve. This technical note describes the endoscopic approach of QT graft harvesting and aims in helping the surgeon to safely harvest the graft and to minimize the complication rate.
