Abstract
Revision patella tendon repairs are technically challenging, and to this point there is no gold standard with regard to treatment. Understanding how the surgeon previously repaired the tendon can be of use in the revision case. This includes a repair using anchor fixation in tunnels from the primary procedure, allograft augmentation under the retinacular layer, and application of a bioinductive implant.
