Specialized Toolkit Series: ACL Reconstruction-Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Graft Harvest

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the bone patellar tendon bone (BTB) autograft technique for ACL reconstruction. It covers indications, advantages, and potential disadvantages of using BTB, such as high success rates and risk of anterior knee pain. The presenters detail their surgical method for harvesting and preparing the graft, emphasizing proper sizing and careful handling to avoid complications. Clinical studies show BTB has excellent outcomes and lower re-rupture rates compared to allografts. They conclude that while BTB is a reliable gold standard, graft choice should be patient-specific, with a focus on a consistent and precise surgical technique.
