Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Yields Good Outcomes for Revision ACL Reconstruction after Failed Patellar Tendon Autograft

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker begins by expressing gratitude to their co-authors and acknowledges that the topic of their talk has no relevance. They discuss the increased use of the quadriceps tendon in revision surgeries from 18% to 49% over a certain time period. Limited evidence exists for the use of the free tendon, with about 20% of patients needing a second revision surgery. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the quadriceps tendon autograft after a failed primary BTB autograft reconstruction. They evaluated patient-reported outcomes, quadriceps strength, and complications. The results showed good strength recovery, low re-injury rates, and high return to function in athletic patients. Some complications were reported, but overall the quadriceps tendon autograft was considered effective. The study has limitations, including its retrospective design and exclusion criteria. The speaker concludes by highlighting the benefits of the quadriceps tendon autograft. No credits were mentioned in the video transcript.
