Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery with quadriceps tendon (QT) grafts, both with and without a patellar bone plug, have gained popularity in recent years in the primary and revision settings. Postoperative complications occur with the use of QT autografts.
Purpose: To systematically review the incidence of postoperative complications after primary ACLR QT autograft and compare complication rates in patients undergoing all-soft tissue QT grafts versus QT grafts with a patellar bone plug (QTPB).
» Approximately 1 in 3 high-impact athletes develops patellar tendinopathy (PT), with the proximal insertion of the patellar tendon being the most commonly affected anatomical site.» Nonoperative treatment options are effective in reducing pain and restoring functionality in most patients with PT. However, operative intervention should be considered when conservative management fails.
