The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate clinically, functionally, and objectively our initial expe rience using free, autogenous middle third patellar ten don for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction without extraarticular augmentation in 62 of 75 patients (80% followup) who were available for clinical review at a minimum 2-year followup. Subjective, clinical, func tional, Cybex dynamometer, and KT-1000 arthrometer tests were performed along with modified tests of the Hospital for Special Surgery, Noyes Cincinnati, Tegner, and Lysholm knee rating scales. Ninety-two percent had a negative pivot shift at followup. The mean Cybex dynamometer extension deficits postoperatively were 9% and 7% at 180 and 240 deg/sec. Mild patellar pain symptoms were noted in 18%. The reoperation rate was 10% with a mild flexion contracture as the most common reason. The Hospital for Special Surgery scoring scale postoperatively was 88; Noyes, 86; Lysholm, 88; and Tegner, 6. Mean postoperative single-legged and ver tical jump indices were 88% and 87%, respectively. The KT-1000 arthrometric evaluation postoperatively revealed a mean maximum manual difference of 0.3 mm; 92% of the patients had a maximum manual dif ference of 
3 mm. Subjectively, 95% indicated that they would undergo the procedure again. Early results demonstrate excellent stability, preservation of motion, and encouraging evaluations by scoring scales and arthrometric evaluation.
