Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft has recently gained popularity because newer techniques allow harvest of a robust graft with little soft-tissue dissection or donor-site morbidity. The QT graft can provide a safe, reproducible, and versatile option for primary and revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with equivalent outcomes and failure rates to those of bone–patellar tendon–bone and hamstring tendon grafts. Therefore, continued improvement in surgical technique may help to further improve patient outcomes. This study introduces a modification of current QT techniques using a partial-thickness graft with continuous-loop EndoButton fixation (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA).
