Video Summary
The video discusses the use of quad tendon autograft in ACL reconstruction, specifically in the adolescent population. The study analyzes postoperative complications and early functional outcomes in a series of 90 patients aged 12 to 19. The rate of arthrofibrosis or cyclops lesions was found to be relatively high, with 15% overall and 20% during the learning curve period. These complications required additional surgeries. However, functional outcomes improved over time, and there was no difference between the learning curve and post-learning curve periods. The cause of arthrofibrosis in quad tendon autografts is not clear, but it may be related to factors such as tissue composition or technical factors. Further research is needed.
