Predicting adequacy of free quadriceps tendon autograft, for primary and revision ACL reconstruction, from patients’ physical parameters

Purpose Free quadriceps tendon autograft (QTA) has gained popularity for both primary and revision ACL reconstruction. The aim of this study is to measure the dimensions of quadriceps tendon and determine its correlation with patient’s height, weight and BMI. This is to provide a guide for patients and surgeons in predicting the suitability of QTA for ACL reconstructions.
