Popis: Patellar tendon ruptures are severe but uncommon injuries that require surgical treatment. Primary repair for acute patellar tendon ruptures using augmentation techniques has shown good results in terms of biomechanical and clinical outcomes. This Technical Note details patellar tendon repair with suture tape augmentation for proximal patellar tendon rupture. Because this surgical technique does not require harvesting of the hamstring tendon and hardware removal, it is minimally invasive. In addition, it is simple and quick to perform.
