Abstract:Background: The potential intra-articular effects of ≥1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with independent suture tape augmentation (STA) are not fully understood. Purpose: To investigate whether incorporating suture tape in an all–soft tissue quadriceps tendon autograft (QTA) ACLR leads to satisfactory patient outcomes while having no intra-articular side effects as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Included were… Show more
