Not Much Has Changed In The Way The Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Graft Is Prepared Before Implantation. We Present A Modified Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Graft Preparation Technique By Implying The Increased Cross Sectional Area. MATERIAL AND METHODS, Measurements Of Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Graft Were Made During The Reconstruction Of The Anterior Cruciate Ligament In 93 Male Patients. The Bone Part Of Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Graft 10 Mm Wide And The Tendon Part 12-14 Mm Wide Was Placed On The Holder With A Handle In A Way Which Allowed Sewing The Edges Of The Patellar Tendon In A Shape Of A Tube. The Circumference Of The Central Part Of The Graft Was Measured Using A Suture Tightened Around The Graft. The Diameters Of The Circle And Cross Sectional Areas Were Then Calculated Using Geometrical Calculation. RESULTS, The Fol Lowing Measures Were Recorded, The Circumference Of 30 Mm, The Diameter Of 9.55 Mm, And The Cross Sectional Area Of 72 Mm2 In 9 Patients
