Every layer of quadriceps tendon’s central and medial portion offers similar tensile properties than Hamstrings or Ilio-Tibial Band Grafts

Every layer of quadriceps tendon’s central and medial portion offers similar tensile properties than Hamstrings or Ilio-Tibial Band Grafts

Abstract Purpose The aim of our cadaveric study was to compare the mechanical properties of different parts of the quadriceps’ tendon in a load to failure analysis as compared to three other, and most common types of grafts that are used to perform ligament’s reconstruction. Methods Ten fresh-frozen...
