Direct Repair without Augmentation of Patellar Tendon Avulsion following TKA
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complications involving the extensor mechanism after TKA are potentially disastrous. We are reporting a case of patellar tendon rupture from tibial tuberosity following total knee arthroplasty. We managed it by direct repair with fiberwire using Krackow suture technique without augmentation. Our long term result has been very encouraging. Our method is a safe and better method of management of patellar tendon avulsion following TKA when it happens without any tissue loss.

Bilateral Spontaneous Midsubstance Patellar Tendon Rupture after Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty
INTRODUCTION Patellar tendon rupture can occur due to multiple causes ranging from inflammatory pathologies to episodes of trauma. Extensor mechanism rupture is a rare complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In most of these cases, the failure occurs as avulsion of patellar tendon from tibial tuberosity. We report a rare case with bilateral mid-substance patellar tendon rupture one month...

The ideal treatment for avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella has not yet been identified. The options include internal fixation of the pole fragment and resection of the avulsed fragment along with the repair of patellar ligament to the patella. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the result of pole resection with repair of patellar ligament with augmentation by P...
متن کاملDoes total knee arthroplasty affect the patellar tendon reflex?
Background There may be a perception in clinical practice that any deficit in the patellar tendon reflex arc could be attributed to a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There is no evidence in the literature to support this conclusion. Methods Sixty-six knees were examined to determine whether TKA affects the patellar tendon reflex. Results There was no difference observed between the knees with a ...
متن کاملPatellar Tendon Repair With Ipsilateral Semitendinosus Autograft Augmentation
Patellar tendon ruptures are rare but potentially devastating injuries. Acute repair after patellar tendon rupture affords the best opportunity for tension-free restoration of the extensor mechanism. Biological augmentation of primary repair is believed to decrease strain across the repair site and reduce the risk of rerupture. We present a technique for primary patellar tendon repair with bidi...
متن کاملPatellar stress fracture after transosseous extensor mechanism repair: report of 3 cases.
Extensor mechanism injuries are unusual and require early operative intervention to optimally restore extensor mechanism continuity, strength, and function. Quadriceps tendon ruptures typically occur in patients older than 40 years and can be associated with degenerative tendon changes, obesity, systemic illnesses, and trauma. Patellar tendon ruptures are usually seen in younger patients as a r...
