Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses their approach to using the quad tendon for ACL reconstruction in high-level athletes. They believe the quad tendon is a good alternative to the bone patella tendon bone graph. The quad tendon has minimal variability, a large collagen mass, and allows for robust fixation and early aggressive rehab. The speaker explains a technique for using the quad tendon, including the incision, elevation of the tendon, cutting the desired length, using a bone plug if desired, and fixation. They also address common questions such as taking full thickness of the tendon, closing the defect, bone grafting, and the length of the graft. The video concludes with x-rays showing the final reconstruction. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
