Cadaveric Anatomical Measurements for ACL Graft Harvest Site and Nerve Relationships

Data from the manuscript 'Anatomical Relationship Between the Distal Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve and the Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Harvest Site: A Cadaveric study with implications for ACL reconstruction surgery'. The dataset was authored by Brett Norris and is hosted by Harvard Dataverse, with a last recorded update in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling nerve injury risk based on anatomical proximity measurements described in the study
• Training surgical planning tools based on cadaveric anatomical relationships
• Validating surgical landmarks for quadriceps tendon autograft harvest

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a formal, peer-reviewed anatomical study manuscript.
• Data is hosted on the authoritative Harvard Dataverse platform.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
