## TL;DR

This paper introduces a minimally invasive technique for reconstructing the anterior cruciate ligament using a quadriceps tendon graft with suspensory fixation.

## Contribution

The novel method avoids screws and uses specialized devices for femoral and tibial fixation in ACL reconstruction.

## Key findings

- The technique uses autologous quadriceps tendon grafts for both primary and revision ACL reconstructions.
- Suspensory fixation is employed to reduce the need for screws in the procedure.

## Abstract

The use of autologous quadriceps tendon grafts is highly advantageous for knee reconstruction operations, encompassing both primary and revision reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament. Using specialized devices and avoiding the need for screws for femoral and tibial fixation, we present a minimally invasive method for quadriceps tendon cylinder-shaped anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with suspensory fixation.
