Quadrupled semitendinosus autograft ACL reconstruction with EndoButton fixation shows excellent results. This technique offers low morbidity and reoperation rates with no reported femoral or tibial fixation failures over 10 years.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are common in athletes.
  • Autograft reconstruction is a standard surgical procedure.
  • Femoral fixation is a critical component of ACL reconstruction success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate the quadrupled semitendinosus autograft technique for ACL reconstruction.
  • To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of EndoButton femoral fixation in ACL reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a quadrupled semitendinosus autograft for ACL reconstruction.
  • Employing the EndoButton device for femoral fixation.
  • Clinical follow-up over a 10-year period by the senior author.
