Özet
Patellar tendon ruptures are functionally devastating injuries that result in failure of the knee extensor mechanism and can lead to a loss of ambulation. Chronic patellar tendon injuries are defined as tears greater than 2 weeks old and are typically more complex to manage than acute tears. Recently, the use of double-row suture anchor configurations has been explored as a technique to provide improved strength in addition to tendon-to-bone compression at the anatomic footprint. The purpose of this article is to describe a surgical technique involving chronic patellar tendon rupture repair using a double-row suture construct augmented with Achilles allograft. Our technique offers a variety of benefits and permits early postoperative mobilization.
