Popis: The bone–patellar tendon–bone (BPTB) autograft or allograft is a well-established option for primary or revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, although the length and width of the graft are relatively consistent, its thickness is unpredictable and can impact the biomechanical properties of the ACL graft. This technical note describes a technique for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction called the “BPTB-plus” technique, which consists of a BPTB graft augmented by the gracilis tendon.
