Patellar Fracture Risk Is Not Affected by Harvest Length During Bone–Patellar Tendon–Bone Harvest: A Biomechanical and Ultimate Load-to-Failure Analysis

Purpose: To biomechanically assess the impact of different patellar defect sizes on the ultimate load to failure (ULTF) and fracture risk immediately after bone–patellar tendon–bone harvest. Methods: Twelve fresh-frozen mid femur to mid tibia–fibula cadaveric specimens (8 female specimens) with an a...
