This initiative was founded in 2017. with the goal of gathering experts in the fields of Orthopedic knee surgery and Sports medicine in order to share clinical practice expertise and research experiences, establish future research goals, clinical and rehabilitation protocols, which would ultimately lead to a better understanding and popularization of the Quadriceps tendon and its utilization as a safe, reproducible and versatile autograft choice for ACL and other ligament reconstruction surgeries.

Since QT autograft has mostly been reserved for revision surgeries in the past, due to a technically challenging open harvesting procedure with a high learning curve and less cosmetically attractive scaring, Fink et al. had a goal to develop a minimally invasive, less anatomically disruptive, and at the same time easily reproducible technique for QT harvest.

Xerogeanes and associates have developed a special minimally invasive technique for graft harvest for all-inside ACL reconstruction. It requires shorter grafts and since shortening the BTB graft proves to be difficult, QT graft appears to be an ideal choice for this technique.

Many surgeons use quadriceps tendon (QT) graft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) revision surgery; however, despite excellent clinical results, the QT has not achieved universal acceptance for primary ACL reconstruction.
Read MoreThe members of this experts group are leading experts from around the world who have been using the QT autograft in their surgical practice and have conducted and published research on the subject.
Read MoreAll who have been using the QT autograft, have conducted studies and published papers on the subject or have strong interest in doing so are welcome to apply for the membership in the IQTI. Each application will be processed and the answer will be given in the shortest time possible.
