Acute patellar tendon rupture with tibial tubercle avulsion repair using suture anchors: Tiny avulsed fragment which affects the strength of construction-a case report

Neglected patellar tendon rupture in tibial tubercle avulsion fracture in an adolescent: A case report

“…The tibial tuberosity fragment can be secured with screws, Kirschner wires, staples, or trans-osseous sutures, while staples, trans-osseous suture, standard Krakow sutures, figure-ofeight tension band wiring, cerclage wire and suture bone anchor, potentially augmented with protective wire loop or semitendinosus graft have been described for patellar tendon reinsertion. 1,3,[7][8][9][10][11] Reinforcement of ligament repair can be done either with cerclage wire or fiber wire through a patella bone tunnel, as in our case. 3 Moreover, contralateral patellar tendon, quadriceps graft, hamstring graft, Achilles tendon allograft, or synthetic ligament augmentation has been described.…”
