Bone Patellar Tendon Bone (BPTB) Graft
A Bone Patellar Tendon Bone (BPTB) graft is a common surgical technique used to repair torn knee ligaments, particularly the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It involves taking a central strip of tissue, including a small piece of bone from the kneecap (patella) and the corresponding tendon, then transplanting it to the injured ligament site. The bone ends help secure the graft firmly in place through natural bone healing, promoting a strong and stable connection. This method offers durable results and is often chosen for athletes or active individuals returning to sports.
