| Popis: | CASE A 19-year-old woman with a history of Hoffa fat pad syndrome underwent infrapatellar fat pad synovectomy and subsequently developed extensor mechanism disruption secondary to iatrogenic patellar tendon injury. She received a modified extensor mechanism patella-patellar tendon-tibial tubercle allograft to restore extensor function with satisfactory results at 2-year follow-up. We also review alternative techniques that were considered for her extensor mechanism repair. CONCLUSION The patient demonstrated satisfactory outcomes, similar to other established techniques. This modified extensor mechanism allograft reconstruction may be an effective alternative for patients experiencing acute extensor mechanism disruptions. |
