Abstract

Suture tape augmentation for repair and in combination with reconstruction with grafts has been described for multiple procedures. To date, no description of a patellar tendon graft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with an augmented graft has been published. This Technical Note details a technique we developed to incorporate a cross-linked suture tape into a patellar tendon graft.
