Expert Surgical Skills on the ESSKA Academy
Harvesting the Re**us Femoris for ACL Reconstruction - A Step-by-Step Approach

The ESSKA Academy is proud to feature a new Expert Surgical Skills video by Prof. Etienne Cavaignac (Toulouse University Hospital, France).

This educational demonstration details a step-by-step technique for harvesting the re**us femoris tendon as an autograft for ACL reconstruction.
The approach is anatomical, reproducible, and minimally invasive, designed to optimise graft quality while preserving quadriceps function and reducing donor-site morbidity.

Prof. Cavaignac’s work highlights the increasing role of the re**us femoris tendon as a strong and reliable graft alternative for complex or revision ACL cases.
Through precise identification of the superficial and deep tendon layers, and careful dissection along safe anatomical planes, this method provides both efficiency and predictability, key values in modern sports knee surgery.

ESSKA members can access this expert surgical demonstration (and many more educational resources) directly on the ESSKA Academy platform.
