Superficial band of the quadriceps tendon harvested with a minimally invasive technique provides adequate graft dimensions: a cadaveric study
The findings of this study indicate that the minimally invasive harvesting of the superficial band of the quadriceps tendon resulted in adequate graft dimension. Gender-based comparisons revealed no statistically significant differences in these dimensions between males and females. Additionally, correlation analysis showed weak to moderate correlations between graft dimensions and height, none of which were statistically significant, indicating no meaningful relationship between height and graft dimensions.
