@ryvesmooremd: Preparing a patellar tendon graft for an ACL reconstruction 🦵 This is one of the most important steps of an ACL Reconstruction. The graft ultimately becomes the new ACL, so careful preparation is critical to the strength, stability, and success of the reconstruction. A patellar tendon graft is a common choice for many athletes and active patients because of its strong fixation and reliable healing. The bone plugs on each end allow the graft to heal solidly within the tunnels, which can be especially beneficial for patients looking to return to higher-level activities and sports. Every detail matters and preparing the graft properly is a crucial part of setting the reconstruction up for success, and Chase always does a great job 🤘 #WhySOG #ChooseSOG #ACLReconstruction #ACLSurgery #SportsMedicine #Orthopedics #KneeSurgery #PatellarTendonGraft
