PURPOSE: To introduce and discuss the outcome of a modified patellar side harvest technique. METHODS: This prospective cohort was conducted on patients with torn ACL who were eligible candidates for surgical intervention. Demographics and baseline characteristics were gathered for each patient. RESULTS: In total, 1024 patients with a mean age of 30.6 ± 3.6 were enrolled in this cohort. Results of modified IKDC scores reported with good and excellent outcome in 75% of patients. CONCLUSION: Most of the patients who underwent BPTB-ACL reconstruction surgery with modified patellar side harvest technique, experienced acceptable clinical outcome.
