Abstract:
Pedicular hamstring grafts have become increasingly popular for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, preserving sufficient blood supply to enhance bone-to-tendon healing while providing additional mechanical fixation on the tibial side. This Technical Note introduces an original approach utilizing a dual adjustable loop fixation for hamstring grafts, maintaining the tibial insertion, in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Muscles that Move the Leg
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...
