ACL Tear Reconstruction 🦵 A bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with a graft that contains patellar tendon and bony attachments. The ACL is a ligament that stabilizes the knee joint and is often injured during high-intensity sports. The BPTB graft is recommended for people who want to return to a high level of activity. The BPTB graft has advantages can include: - Better outcomes vs other forms of therapy/grafts - Patellar graft is easily obtained - Less traumatic to the extensor mechanism of knee joint - Good strength/longevity . #BPTB allografts have disadvantages to consider: Cost, Graft availability, Potential for transmission of infectious diseases, and Less biomechanical strength vs autograft (depending on sterilization techniques). With Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone #ACLreconstruction the new #ACL is harvested from the patellar tendon that connects the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). The middle third of the patellar tendon is used with a typical width of 10-11 mm. The bone graft itself will take up to 3 mos to heal. Return to strenuous exercise can take up to 6-9 mos. Other autograft options for Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction include hamstring, quadricep, and even achilles tendons #acl #aclsurgery #aclrecovery . 👇 SHARE your ACL injury experience and insights
