| Popis: | Quadriceps tendon ruptures compromise the knee extensor mechanism and cause an inability to ambulate and significant functional limitations. Therefore, the vast majority of quadriceps tendon ruptures are indicated for operative intervention to restore patient mobility and function. Although these injuries were traditionally repaired using a transosseous repair technique, recent literature has shown that suture anchor repair may offer biomechanical advantages. Additionally, research in other areas of orthopaedics has found that a double-row suture anchor construct can offer additional biomechanical strength to tendinous repair. This technical note describes a safe and effective quadriceps tendon repair using a double-row suture anchor construct. Technique Video Video 1 Repair of a right quadriceps tendon rupture with the patient in the supine position. The tear is identified and mobilized, and the superior pole of the patella is prepared with a burr. Two suture anchors double loaded with suture tape (PEEK Corkscrew FT) are placed into the superior pole, and the suture ends are passed through the tendon in Krackow fashion. A double-row construct is then created using 2 sutures from the contralateral anchor and 1 from the ipsilateral anchor loaded into an additional anchor (3.5-mm PEEK SwiveLock) and impacted into the patella to create a double-row construct. This is repeated on both the medial and lateral sides of the patella. The extensor retinaculum is then repaired to complete the fixation. |
