| Popis: | Introduction. Patellar tendon rupture is a rare injury which, if missed, leads to delayed surgical treatment and may result in the loss of the knee joint function. The aim of this study was to report our results of operative treatment of the patellar tendon rupture and point out the significance of timely diagnosis and surgical procedure. Material and Methods. This retrospective tenyear study included 20 patients, 15 males and 5 females, their mean age being 42 (20-84) years. Seven participants had an injury on the right side and 13 had an injury on the left side. Thirteen participants had the diagnosis set in the first seven days after the injury. The applied techniques were surgical suture of the tendon, bone-tendon-bone ligamentoplasty using allograft from a bone bank and bone-tendon-bone ligamentoplasty using contralateral autograft, and they were performed in 12, 5 and 3 patients, respectively. The treatment results were assessed by using the Lysholm score, measuring the range of movement in the knee joint and measuring the girth of the thigh 10 cm above the patella. Results. The follow-up period after the surgery was 4 years on average (1-10 years) and the average value of the Lysholm score was 83 (27-100). The result was found to be excellent in 11 cases, satisfactory in 5 cases and unsatisfactory in 4. A statistically significant difference (p=0.0197 p |
