Quadriceps Tendon Repair Using Knotless Anchors and Suture Tape
نویسنده
چکیده
Repair of a torn quadriceps tendon is necessary to restore the extensor mechanism of the knee. Traditional repair involves transosseous sutures tied over bone bridges on the inferior pole of the patella. Suture anchor repair has been shown to be stronger than transosseous repair and facilitates a smaller incision. Suture tape can improve the strength of the suture-tendon interface, and when combined with knotless anchors, leads to a stronger repair construct than even traditional suture anchors and surgeon-tied knots. Here we describe our technique of quadriceps tendon repair using suture tape and knotless anchors.

Knotless Tape Suture Fixation of Quadriceps Tendon Rupture: A Novel Technique.
Quadriceps tendon ruptures disrupt the extensor mechanism of the knee and require urgent surgical management. Traditional repair techniques have had mixed biomechanical and clinical results risking weakness and extensor lag. We describe a novel technique using tape suture and knotless anchors, which has performed superiorly during biomechanical testing and yielded terrific early clinical results.
متن کاملComparison of the Fixation Strength of PEEK Knotless Suture Anchors for Rotator Cuff Repair
INTRODUCTION Rotator cuff injuries are common, with approximately 400,000 cuff repairs performed each year in the United States alone. Surgical repair of torn cuff tendons involves reattachment of the torn end of the tendon to the original footprint on the proximal humerus, typically using suture anchors. In recent years, suture anchors have evolved into knotless systems, which are designed to ...
متن کاملKnotless single-row rotator cuff repair: a comparative biomechanical study of 2 knotless suture anchors.
The purpose of this study was to compare the gap formation during cyclic loading, maximum repair strength, and failure mode of single-row full-thickness supraspinatus repairs performed using 2 knotless suture anchors with differing internal suture-retention mechanisms in a human cadaver model. Nine matched pairs of cadaver shoulders were used. Full-thickness tears were induced by detaching the ...
متن کاملAchilles Tendon Repair Using the InternalBrace Principle.
Despite extensive research, the management of acute ruptures of the Achilles tendon remains an area of controversy, and there is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment. An InternalBrace (Arthrex, Inc., Naples, Florida) is a ligament augmentation repair using high strength sutures/tape and knotless bone anchors which encourages healing and allows early mobilization. This article describes...
متن کاملClinical outcomes after treatment of quadriceps tendon ruptures show equal results independent of suture anchor or transosseus repair technique used – A pilot study
Biomechanical studies have shown the use of suture anchors (SA) to be superior to the traditional transosseous sutures (TS) in the repair of quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR). This study aimed to analyze and compare the functional outcomes of patients treated for quadriceps tendon ruptures using suture anchors or transosseous sutures. Patients having undergone suture anchor repair or transosseous...
