Abstract
We describe the use of the Leeds-Keio ligament to reconstruct a neglected quadriceps tendon rupture following revision knee arthroplasty. The Leeds-Keio ligament has been used in the treatment of patellar tendon ruptures complicating primary knee arthroplasty with good result--but may, as this report shows, also be successfully applied to address deficiencies of the quadriceps tendon in the revision setting, with continued good function for 2 years.
