Abstract:
The bone-patellar tendon-bone graft (BTPB) was the most commonly used graft for many years. The scientific database is more complete than for every other graft option. This review article presents the surgical techniques of ACL reconstruction with the BPTB graft, aspects of rehabilitation, clinical results, and postoperative problems with special emphasis on donor site morbidity.
