Abstract
This study reports outcomes at a minimum of 2 years after a technique using quadriceps tendon-bone autograft for medial collateral ligament reconstruction. This technique effectively restored medial stability in medial collateral ligament-deficient knees. It is particularly valuable when nonirradiated allograft is unavailable or harvesting medial knee restraints (semitendinosus) for medial collateral ligament reconstruction is to be avoided. [Orthopedics. 2017; 40(3):e557-e562.].
