I use patellar tendon autograft as my main graft selection in young, high-demand, active patients. Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autograft anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has the ...

The BEAR Implant is a resorbable, collagen-based scaffold that’s soaked in the patient’s own blood, then sutured between the ...

Abstract and Introduction To test the hypothesis that a template system for harvesting bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) would cause fewer postoperative patellofemoral problems than freehand graft ...

Athletes face tough decisions after ACL injuries: use their own tissue or donor grafts? Both have risks, and many carry the ...

NEW ORLEANS — Results presented here showed quadriceps tendon grafts had no significant differences in revision or reoperation rates after ACL reconstruction compared with bone-patellar tendon ...

After isolated ACL rupture, 65 patients received either a patellar tendon or a four-strand hamstring tendon graft reconstruction and were followed for 36 months. The two groups did not differ ...

The procedure used a graft from the patient called bone-patellar tendon-bone. The new ACL was made from a strip of the patient’s own knee cap tendon, called the patellar tendon, along with an ...

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists revealed quadriceps tendon-patellar bone (QTB) grafts as a more suitable option than bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) grafts for anterior cruciate ligament ...

Traditional bone-patellar tendon-bone and hamstring tendon ACL grafts are not without limitations. A growing body of anatomic, biomechanical and clinical data has demonstrated the utility of ...

Patients 177 patients received single-bundle reconstruction with a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft and 257 patients received double-bundle reconstruction with hamstring tendon grafts. Risk factor ...

“Use of the patellar tendon graft (PTG) has been an overwhelming success in our practice,” says Dr. Shelbourne. As such, Dr. Shelbourne presented his findings at the 2020 international ACL Study Group ...
