Purpose: To quantify the maximum load to fracture in patellae from which bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and bone-quadriceps tendon (BQT) autografts have been harvested for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a cadaveric model. Methods: Forty-six fresh-frozen patellae were isolated and div...
