Discussion

Surgical intervention demonstrates effective graft use in chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures, suggesting an improved approach to restoration.

This technique minimizes graft wastage while efficiently restoring extensor mechanism function.
Key evidence shows improved outcomes with reduced risk of patellar fractures compared to traditional methods.
Surgical protocol involves the use of an ipsilateral semitendinosus graft and novel fixation methods.
This approach offers a safe alternative to full transosseous tunnel procedures, maintaining patellar integrity.

Porcelli et al. (2025) studied this question.
