“…The advantages of the BQT transplant are the lesser donor‐site‐morbidity and the resultant fewer restrictions in the anterior knee joint compartment with kneeling, knee flexion and stair‐climbing. Our results agree essentially with those of other authors [9, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24], who regard this transplant as an alternative to the BPTB transplants. Furthermore a direct, comparative investigation in the clinical outcome after using BPTB‐, BQT‐ and semitendinosus/gracilis tendon graft for reconstruction of the ACL is outstanding.…”

“…Meanwhile, some studies exist, which recommend the use of the BQT‐transplant as a routine method for the replacement of ruptured ACL's. The authors highlight in particular the reduced donor‐site‐morbidity as a significant advantage of this method [15, 21, 24]. The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not it is possible to achieve comparable results with the BQT‐transplants avoiding the disadvantages of the BPTB‐autografts described above.…”

The use of the BPTB-autograft is a very common method for ACL reconstruction. Nevertheless, the problem of the typical donor-site-morbidity is unresolved. Recently, a transplant of quadriceps tendon, with an attached bone block (BQT) has been increasingly relied upon. The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical results of a group of patients after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using either BPTB or quadriceps tendon autograft after a minimum follow-up of 2 years in terms of knee joint stability and function using both subjective and objective criteria. Retrospective study. A total of 260 patients with ACL ruptures were operated between 1995 and 2000; 124 received a BQT-autograft, including 8 revisions; 136 patients received a BPTB-autograft, exclusively primary interventions. The results were evaluated using the IKDC-, Noyes- and Lysholm-Scores. It was possible to re-evaluate 194 patients after a minimum follow-up period of 2 years, 64 of 260 patients (25%) were lost to follow-up. Ninety-seven percent of the operated knee joints in the BPTB-group were judged as normal or almost normal with the IKDC evaluation, as were 83% in the BQT-group (P < or = 0.001). The BQT-group showed a significantly better result in the evaluation of the donor-site-morbidity. We found no significant differences in the functional outcome according to the Lysholm- and Noyes-Score. In comparison to the results after using a BQT-transplant for reconstruction of a ruptured ACL the use of the BPTB-transplant is in favour concerning patient satisfaction and IKDC evaluation. For patients with activities involving kneeling or prolonged flexion of the knee joint BQT-transplants can be a good alternative, however.

“…There are multiple reports on how to perform an ACL reconstruction with Quad Tendon: a) with bone block [2, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 19–22, 24–26, 28, 36, 41, 42] or b) without bone block [10, 23, 36]. Regarding fixation in cases with bone block, some authors prefer fixing the bone block to the femur [7, 26], while others, to the tibia [6, 41]. Most importantly, some authors prefer partial thickness [15, 21, 26] others full thickness [6, 41].…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL) using an All-Inside Full Thickness Quadriceps Reconstruction technique at 5 years follow up. Methods: This is a Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. Inclusion criteria for this report were isolated primary ACL reconstructions without chondral lesions (Grade III/IV Outerbridge), using autologous full-thickness quadriceps tendon (FQT) graft with bone block, with an "all-inside" technique. Functional scales of Lysholm, IKDC, Tegner and objective results of side to side difference (KT1000) were used for this evaluation. Additionally, complications and comorbidities were also analyzed. Results: Two hundred and ninety-one ACL reconstructions were retrospectively reviewed at 5 years postoperatively; 268 (92.1%) were men and 23 (7.90%) women. Lysholm Score improved from 64 (SD = 6.09) to 91 (SD = 6.05) points average. IKDC showed 59.79%, excellent and 3.4% good results. Arthrometric analysis showed that 259 knees (89%) had a difference of less than 3 mm. Median pre-injury Tegner score was 9 (Range 4-10), while final median Tegner activity level at 5 years was 8 (Range 4-10). Among comorbidities, 5.15% of the patients presented anterior knee pain. No visualization difficulties or significant hematomas were found. Conclusion: Use of all inside FQT for ACL reconstruction in a young, high demand sports population, present at 5 years, good to excellent results, functionally and objectively, with low rates of complications and comorbidities.
