A Suture Anchor–Based Repair Plus Reconstruction Using Acellular Human Dermal Allograft for Recurrent Sports-Related Patellar Tendon Rupture

Abstract

Recurrent traumatic patellar tendon rupture following early repair of a primary rupture is exceedingly rare; there is little technical literature on how to manage this potentially devastating injury. We describe here a suture anchor–based technique for revision repair augmented with an extensor reconstruction using acellular human dermal allograft.
