Abstract
We present a case of chronic disruption of the patellar tendon in a patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. This patient was treated with a customized extensor mechanism allograft. Results were excellent at 5 years follow up. To our knowledge this treatment has not previously been published in this situation. We present this as a reliable treatment option.
