Abstract
The most common method used in the treatment of acute patellar tendon ruptures is primary end-to-end repair. The use of the Acufex ACL guide (Acufex Microsurgical, Mansfield, MA) provides efficient and accurate placement of transosseous drill holes in the patella and minimizes the risk, tourniquet time, and surgical time of acute patellar tendon repairs.
