Bone-patellar tendon-bone graft

A Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BPTB) graft is a common technique used in knee surgery, especially for repairing torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL). It involves removing a healthy strip of tissue along with small pieces of bone from the middle of your kneecap (patella) and its connected tendon. This graft is then stitched or anchored into your shinbone and thighbone to replace the damaged ACL. The bone pieces help secure the graft firmly, encouraging natural bone to grow into the graft for strong, lasting stability. It's a well-established method known for its effectiveness in restoring knee function.
