Abstract
Quadriceps tendon autografts are an increasingly popular choice for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, with decreased donor-site morbidity alongside good patient outcomes. Although harvesting of the tendon can be done in a minimally invasive fashion, this introduces some difficulty with visualization and consistency of graft sizing. The purpose of this Technical Note and video is to provide a method of quadriceps tendon autograft harvesting using the Quadriceps Tendon Harvest Guide System (QUADTRAC) in a single-bundle ACL reconstruction.
