Biologically Augmented Quadriceps Tendon Autograft With Platelet-Rich Plasma for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most common procedures studied in the orthopaedic literature. In this regard, graft preparation is a key factor for successful outcomes. Although current methods to reconstruct the ACL are generally perceived to be successful, recent stud...
