Knotless Tape Suture Fixation of Quadriceps Tendon Rupture: A Novel Technique.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Quadriceps Tendon Repair Using Knotless Anchors and Suture Tape
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 com...
متن کاملBiomechanical Comparison of Suture Anchor vs. Transosseous Tunnel Repair for Acute Quadriceps Tendon Rupture
Introduction Acute quadriceps tendon rupture is a relatively infrequent injury with serious consequences. The current gold standard for management of an acute quadriceps tendon rupture is surgical repair with suture through transosseous patellar bone tunnels. This repair has been successful, but can be a relatively time-consuming and labor intensive procedure, with potential complications inclu...
متن کاملFlexor tendon repair: a comparative study between a knotless barbed suture repair and a traditional four-strand monofilament suture repair.
We compared the tensile strength of a novel knotless barbed suture method with a traditional four-strand Adelaide technique for flexor tendon repairs. Forty fresh porcine flexor tendons were transected and randomly assigned to one of the repair groups before repair. Biomechanical testing demonstrated that the tensile strengths between both tendon groups were very similar. However, less force wa...
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 کاملArthroscopic Quadriceps Tendon Repair: Two Case Reports
Recently, although some studies of open repair of the tendon of the quadriceps femoris have been published, there have been no reports in the literature on primary arthroscopic repair. In our present study, we present two cases of quadriceps tendon injury arthroscopically repaired with excellent results. Case 1 involved a 68-year-old man who was injured while shifting his weight to prevent a fa...
