We present a case of a 33-year-old male with a history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft and prior ipsilateral hamstring harvest, who presented with a complete patella tendon rupture (PTR) 12 years after ACLR. The patient underwent a successful patellar tendon (PT) repair augmented with Achilles tendon allograft and cerclage with nonabsorbable suture tape. PTR after ACLR with BPTB autograft is rare, particularly in patients over a decade out from the index procedure, but can occur. This case report highlights a novel technique for PT repair following BTB ACLR in a hamstring deficient knee.

Efficacy and safety of quadriceps tendon autograft versus bone-patellar tendon-bone and hamstring tendon autografts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
J Orthop Traumatol

Department of Orthopedics, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, Jinshan Branch, Shanghai, 201599, China.
Background: Quadriceps tendon (QT), bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB), and hamstring tendon (HT) autografts are widely used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), but the optimal autograft choice remains controversial. This study assessed the treatment effects of QT versus BPTB and HT autografts for ACLR.
Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched for eligible studies published from inception until July 2022.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is one of the most common orthopaedic sports medicine surgeries. Its prevalence in the sports medicine sphere is matched by the numerous options of different techniques. Chief among these is graft selection, which most commonly falls into 1 of 4 options: bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft, hamstring tendon autograft (HT), quadriceps tendon autograft, and allografts.

Background: Anatomic rectangular tunnel anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ART-ACLR) can mimic the fiber arrangement of the native ACL and restore normal knee biomechanics, compared with the conventional round tunnel ACLR. ART-ACLR using a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft can provide satisfactory clinical outcomes; however, some issues such as secondary ACL injury and donor-site morbidity, including postoperative anterior knee pain (AKP), remain to be solved. Due to these issues, quadriceps tendon-bone (QTB) grafts have recently become more popular.

Article Synopsis
- Young athletes (≤18 years) face a high risk of ACL graft failure, with current studies indicating significant variation in failure rates among different autograft types used for reconstruction.
- A systematic review analyzed 24 studies and found that hamstring tendon (HT) autografts had the highest failure rate at 11.8%, while bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and quadriceps tendon (QT) had lower failure rates at 7.9% and 2.7%, respectively.
- The findings suggest that while HT is commonly used, BPTB and QT may be more effective options for reducing reinjury risk in young athletes undergoing ACL reconstruction.
Effect of Graft Choice for ACL Reconstruction on Clinical Outcomes in Combined ACL and MCL Injuries: Comparison Between Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone and Hamstring Autografts.

The optimal graft, particularly in combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries, remains controversial. We evaluated the influence of graft choice between bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and hamstring autografts on clinical outcomes in combined ACL and MCL injuries. This retrospective analysis included patients with concurrent ACL and MCL injuries who underwent single-bundle ACL reconstruction with BPTB (group B) or hamstring (group H) grafts, between 2010 and 2019, with a ≥2-year follow-up.
