Risk of Revision and Reoperation After Quadriceps Tendon Autograft ACL Reconstruction Compared With Patellar Tendon and Hamstring Autografts in a US Cohort of 21,973 Patients.

Background: The use of quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts has increased in the past 10 years. However, there remains a dearth of large studies examining the effects of graft selection on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) that includes QT grafts.

Purpose: To evaluate the risk of subsequent surgical outcomes, including revision and reoperation, for a large cohort of patients with primary ACLR according to autograft selection.

Needle-assisted arthroscopic meniscal debridement.

Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is a time-proven procedure for treating irreparable meniscal tears. Central third bucket-handle tears may not be amenable to repair. The goals of resection are a stable meniscus with a smooth contour and removal of the displaced flap from the joint.
