Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with quadriceps tendon autograft has gained popularity in recent years, while many harvesting techniques were described with the use of different harvesting systems available on the market. There are multiple techniques varying from transverse to longitudinal skin incision, from open to minimally invasive approach. Despite the preferred technique, it seems that there is a reported learning curve as with the majority of surgical procedures. The present technical note makes an effort to present a straightforward harvesting method of quadriceps tendon autograft with the use of a simple vaginal speculum and direct visualization with the scope. Our technique is minimally invasive, easily reproducible from every surgeon despite the level of experience, with short learning curve, requiring no additional cost or technical support during the procedure, while creating a stable working space with freedom of manipulation of the surgical instruments and arthroscope. Keywords: Anterior Cruciate Ligament; Knee; Arthroscopic Surgery; Quadriceps Muscle; Autografting.

使用简易阴道窥器采集用于前十字韧带重建的股四头肌肌腱自体移植物并避免采集过程中的潜在陷阱
近年来,使用股四头肌肌腱自体移植物进行前交叉韧带重建的方法越来越受欢迎,市场上出现了许多使用不同采集系统的采集技术。从横向皮肤切口到纵向皮肤切口,从开放式方法到微创方法,有多种技术可供选择。尽管有多种首选技术,但与大多数外科手术一样,似乎都有一个学习曲线。本技术说明旨在介绍一种直接采集股四头肌肌腱自体移植物的方法,该方法使用简单的阴道窥器,并可通过显微镜直接观察。我们的技术是一种微创技术,无论外科医生的经验水平如何,都很容易重复使用,学习曲线短,在手术过程中不需要额外的费用或技术支持,同时创造了一个稳定的工作空间,使手术器械和关节镜的操作更加自由。关键词前交叉韧带;膝关节;关节镜手术;股四头肌;自体移植。
