Abstract:
The use of autologous quadriceps tendon grafts is highly advantageous for knee reconstruction operations, encompassing both primary and revision reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament. Using specialized devices and avoiding the need for screws for femoral and tibial fixation, we present a minimally invasive method for quadriceps tendon cylinder-shaped anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with suspensory fixation.

01:23Knee Joint
2.3K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

01:23Muscles that Move the Leg
2.9K
The movement of the legs is facilitated by numerous muscles located within the anterior, medial, and posterior compartments of the thigh.
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...
