Purpose:
To evaluate the fixation strength and elongation profile of a T-block modification for bone-patellar tendon-bone allografts.
Summary:
Best used as a technique-support article that speaks to graft construct mechanics and fixation reliability.
Key Takeaways:
• This biomechanical paper evaluates fixation performance of a modified bone-patellar tendon-bone allograft construct.
• The study is most relevant to surgeons interested in graft preparation and fixation behavior under load.
• It adds technical depth to discussions around construct design rather than long-term clinical outcomes.
