Advantages and Disadvantages of QT Autograft Preparation Using the FiberTag TightRope II Implant
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| QT autograft has comparable graft survival and clinical outcomes for primary and revision ACLR compared with BPTB autograft. | Technically challenging |
| The preloaded FiberTag TightRope II implant suture cards facilitate easier suture management. | Poor technique can result in difficulty passing the graft through the tunnels. |
| The included InternalBrace decreases the risk of graft retear. | Implant costs |
ACLR, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; BPTB, bone–patellar tendon–bone; QT, quadriceps tendon.
