Upper extremity tendon autograft harvest has many indications and techniques. Many harvest sites provide only 1 single autograft and/or require surgical set up of more extremities than the primary one of interest. In this report, we describe an easily reproducible, quick, and low-morbidity technique using both the wrist extensors-extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis, from near their distal attachments to their musculotendinous junctions proximally-as a source of tendon autograft for a variety of applications.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in sports and often require surgical intervention, e.g., ACL reconstruction (ACLR), aimed at restoring knee stability and enabling a return to pre-injury activity levels.

Background: The use of quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been increasing since 2014. Studies have shown that QT is comparable to hamstring tendon (HT) and bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autografts in terms of outcomes, although QT autograft has lower rates of donor site morbidity. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been previously conducted on this topic, although none have focused solely on data of patients at least 5 years out from surgery.

Patellar tendon rupture (PTR) is a rare and severe postoperative complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Even rarer is the intraoperative occurrence of PTR during TKA. PTR is a major complication as it can lead to chronic disability, functional limitations, and postoperative morbidity.

Purpose: To biomechanically evaluate a flat posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction utilizing rectangular femoral bone tunnels.
Methods: Eight fresh-frozen human knee specimens were tested in a six-degrees-of-freedom robotic test setup. In each testing step, a force-controlled test protocol was performed, including 89 N posterior tibial translation (PTT) in neutral, internal and external rotation, from 0 to 90° of flexion.
Purpose: Using a thin semitendinosus tendon as an autograft is a risk factor for poor clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Preoperative evaluation of the cross-sectional area of the semitendinosus tendon using magnetic resonance imaging is useful. However, studies comparing the cross-sectional area of the semitendinosus tendon on magnetic resonance imaging and the collagen fibril diameter of the semitendinosus tendon are lacking.
