A Modified Method for Reconstruction of Chronic Rupture of the Quadriceps Tendon after Total Knee Replacement
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2008, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
We describe herein a modified technique for reconstruction of chronic rupture of the quadriceps tendon in a patient with bilateral total knee replacement and distal realignment of the patella. The surgery involved the application of a Dacron graft and the ‘double eights’ technique. The patient achieved satisfactory results after surgery and we believe that this technique of reconstruction offers advantages over other methods
