Abstract
Extensor mechanism disruptions are relatively uncommon knee injuries. Within this group, delayed treatment is an infrequent but difficult clinical situation. Fibrous degeneration, muscle contraction and subsequent hiatus present a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. We present an unusual case of a successful delayed repair using the Mitek anchors system (Mitek Products Inc., a division of Ethicon Inc., Westwood, Massachusetts).
