Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery with the central third quadriceps tendon yields a stable, high functioning knee with little associated morbidity at greater than two years of follow-up. The decreased donor site morbidity and absence of anterior knee pain suggest that the quadriceps free tendon autograft offers a reliable, pain-free, low morbidity autograft alternative in ACL reconstruction. Recent data suggest that this graft may be the least morbid of all currently used ACL autograft reconstruction alternatives.
