Background: Knowledge of anatomy and morphometry of the patella and patellar tendon is crucial for the selection of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Graft tunnel mismatch in BTB graft especially in patients with patella alta or baja can result in compromised fixation for the bone-to-bone healing. This complication can be avoided by proper templating of graft using parameters measured from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Unlabelled: Anterior Knee Pain(AKP) has been quoted as the main disadvantage of Bone Patellar Tendon Bone (BPTB)graft in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR). We overcome the problem by harvesting BPTB graft by mini-open mobile window technique.

Objectives: To investigate postoperative incidence of AKP with BPTB graft in comparison with hamstring graft during primary ACLR.
