Specialized Toolkit Series: ACL Reconstruction-Quad Graft Prep

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video demonstrates the preparation of a quadriceps tendon autograft using an all-in-side technique for suspensory fixation on both femoral and tibial sides. It features a proprietary device with a fiber tag to secure the tendon. The process involves creating chevron sutures for optimal stability, working from proximal to distal and vice versa for both ends. After suturing and securing knots, the tendon is ready for implantation. The femoral side comes pre-attached with a button, while the tibial side's button is attached after the graft passes through the tibia.
