Abstract: Surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is indicated in the ACL-deficient knee with symptomatic instability and multiple ligaments injuries. In the present study, we describe the clinical results of quadriceps tendon autograft for ACL reconstruction. From 2015 to 2018, the graft has been used in 20 patients. Twenty patients with complete final follow-up for 2 years were analyzed. Finally; 20 patients (100%) were assessed as normal or nearly normal rating by IKDC guideline. Sixteen patients (80%) had less than 10mm difference in thigh girth between their reconstructed and normal limbs. Nineteen (95%) patients could achieve recovery of the extensor and flexor muscle strength in the reconstructed knee to 80% or more of normal knee strength.
