چکیده
Chronic patellar tendon rupture is a rare disabling injury that is technically difficult to repair. The true prevalence of this injury is unknown. Delayed reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon rupture has yielded suboptimal clinical and functional results. Many different surgical methods for reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon injury have been reported. In this report, we present a case with chronic patellar tendon injury that was addressed using a technique that had not previously been described in the literature, through combining procedures that had been described separately. The reconstruction method presented in this article has the advantages of being easy and reproducible, without a requirement of allografts.

Simultaneous bilateral rupture of patellar tendons in diabetic hemodialysis patient: A case report
Background: Bilateral rupture of the patellar tendon is a very rare injury, which takes place in relation to chronic systemic diseases. These injuries are known causes. Some of these causes are particular in patellar tendon rupture and another are in quadriceps tendon rupture. Case presentation: 70-year-old diabetic man with simultaneous bilateral patellar tendon disruption of proximal inser...
متن کاملReconstruction of Chronic Patellar Tendon Ruptures With Extensor Mechanism Allograft
Chronic patellar tendon ruptures are a difficult clinical problem. Treatment options include repair and augmentation with hamstring tendons and other grafts. We describe a technique of extensor mechanism reconstruction using an allograft consisting of quadriceps tendon, a patellar bone block, patellar tendon, and a tibial bone block. This technique is a salvage procedure indicated only in the m...

Although surgical treatment is the gold standard for chronic patellar tendon rupture, the technique of patellar tendon reconstruction is still difficult. Basically, good clinical results of surgical repair for acute patellar tendon rupture have been reported. However, the results of reconstructive surgery for chronic patellar tendon rupture are still inconsistent. Some surgical options have bee...

INTRODUCTION chronic patellar tendon rupture is rare and its incidence and prevalence are unknown. Furthermore, the data about late reconstruction of the patellar tendon in rheumatoid arthritis is limited. Such condition, if not managed properly, can substantially affect the patient's activities of daily living. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of chronic patellar tendon rupture in a 49 yea...
متن کاملIs there any Correlation Between Patient Height and Patellar Tendon Length?
Background: A potential specific problem of patellar tendon graft in ACL reconstruction is the possibility of graft-tunnel mismatch which could be more problematic with anatomic ACL reconstruction where the femoral tunnel is placed low on the lateral wall of the lateral femoral condyle. The occasional occurrence of this mismatch raises the question that whether a correlation exists between pat...
