An autograft uses the patient’s own tissue, taken from elsewhere in their body, typically their patellar tendon, quad or hamstring. Endo's ACL was reconstructed using part of her quad tendon.

At 7 months after ACL reconstruction, patients with quadriceps tendon grafts show significantly worse isokinetic quadriceps strength than patients with hamstring tendon and patellar tendon grafts.

Surgery involves the reconstruction of the ACL ligament using a substitute graft made from a tendon from elsewhere in the body, such as the hamstring or quadriceps.

Introduction: Current clinical practice suggests using patellar and quadriceps tendon autografts with a 10 mm diameter for ACL reconstruction. This can be problematic for patients with smaller body ...
