“Luggage Tag” Suture Modification for Closing the Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Harvest Site

The quadriceps tendon (QT) is increasingly used as an autograft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Closure of the harvest site helps with fluid extravasation from the joint for the duration of the procedure. In addition, closure of the QT removes the palpable defect noticed by many patie...

description The quadriceps tendon (QT) is increasingly used as an autograft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Closure of the harvest site helps with fluid extravasation from the joint for the duration of the procedure. In addition, closure of the QT removes the palpable defect noticed by many patients and prevents superficial infections from spreading deep to the joint. This Technical Note describes how to perform the “luggage tag” suture modification to efficiently and reproducibly close the QT harvest site with an arthroscopic self-retrieving suture passer.
