Abstract:
In this study, 3 patients with chronic quadriceps tears and gaps < 2 cm were treated with a V-Y lengthening of the tendon, repair of the tendon through drill holes in the patella without cerclage augmentation, and early mobilization. The gap was < or = 2 cm following adequate surgical mobilization of the quadriceps tendon. Results of this technique are presented with a minimum of 1-year follow-up.
