Patellar Fracture Risk Is Not Affected by Harvest Length During Bone–Patellar Tendon–Bone Harvest: A Biomechanical and Ultimate Load‐to‐Failure Analysis
There is concern for complications including an increased risk of patellar fracture at the harvest site after bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft harvest. The risk of this complication based on patellar harvest size is not well understood. This study provides biomechanical insights into assessing fracture risk of patellar harvest between 20 and 25 mm in length.
