Rupture of the patellar tendon
Annales Chirurgiae Et Gynaecologiae
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
Five patients with closed rupture of the patellar tendon, treated without delay with end-to-end suture, were reviewed. The suture line was reinforced with a steel wire in only one case. The follow-up time was at least three years in all patients. No reruptures were seen. The functional result was considered good in three and satisfactory in two patients.
