title: Outcomes at a Minimum of 2 Years After Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using Partial-Thickness Quadriceps Tendon-Bone Autograft.
abstract: This study reports outcomes at a minimum of 2 years after a technique using quadriceps tendon-bone autograft for medial collateral ligament reconstruction. This technique effectively restored medial stability in medial collateral ligament-deficient knees. It is particularly valuable when nonirradiated allograft is unavailable or harvesting medial knee restraints (semitendinosus) for medial collateral ligament reconstruction is to be avoided.
