A thin layer of quadriceps tendon passes over the patella and joins the patellar ligament distally. The medial and lateral retinacula, which are extensions of the quadriceps muscle, bypass the patella and insert directly on the tibia. If the retinacula are intact after a patellar fracture, the...
Patellar tendon autograft versus patellar tendon allograft in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol. 2015;25(2):355-65.Yao LW, Wang Q, Zhang L, Zhang C, Zhang B, Zhang YJ, Feng SQ (2015) Patellar tendon autograft ...
Grafts are commonly taken from the patellar tendon or the semitendinosis muscle of the hamstrings, or an allograft is used. PCL Injuries to the PCL are less common than injuries to other ligaments of the knee. Injury from a direct blow to the front of the knee while the knee is bent ...
The reconstruction was performed 3 months after the injury using an Achilles tendon-bone allograft and reinforcing suprapatellar wire. At 2 weeks postoperatively, the patient had attained full extension and 90 degrees of flexion. Ten months after the index procedure, the patient had range of ...
Pullout Strength of Bone–Patellar Tendon–Bone Allograft Bone Plugs: A Comparison of Cadaver Tibia and Rigid Polyurethane Foam Purpose To compare the load-to-failure pullout strength of bone–patellar tendon–bone (BPTB) allografts in human cadaver tibias and rigid polyurethane foa... FA Barber...
D is the length of the patellar tendon measured along its posterior surface or the depth from its origin at the lower pole of the patella to its insertion in the tibial tubercle; E is the greatest diagonal length of the patella; F is the distance from the lower edge of the joint surface...

Patellar tendon reconstruction in the setting of a non-repairable patellar tendon rupture can be a technically difficult and extensive procedure. An alternative surgical technique for patellar tendon reconstruction with Achilles tendon allograft utilizes tibial tubercle interference fixation for the bone plug...
[ 1 ] comparing the outcomes of allograft and allograft patellar tendon graft in revision ACL reconstruction. We would like to congratulate the authors in elucidating in detail the potential benefits of use of allografts. We also agree with the authors that the use of allografts could be ...
