Arthrofibrosis After Adolescent Anterior Cruciate Reconstruction with Quadriceps Tendon with Bone Block Autograft
More children and adolescents undergoing ACLR with QTB have a higher rate of arthrofibrosis at 3 months. However, return to the operating room for MUA is similar to other graft types. Reduced flexion preoperatively and at 6 weeks postoperatively, as well as concomitant MMR, were significant predictors of arthrofibrosis.
