Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with quadriceps tendon autograft has become increasingly popular for primary and revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. Although there are a variety of techniques available for performing quadriceps tendon autograft harvest for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, a minimally invasive, all-soft tissue harvest technique can result in a reproducible, reliable graft while minimizing donor-site morbidity. In this Technical Note, we describe our preferred technique for quadriceps tendon autograft harvest for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
