Abstract
Patellar tendon ruptures are relatively uncommon injuries that often occur in the setting of chronic patellar tendinopathy, particularly in those participating in high-level pivoting sports and jumping athletics secondary to overuse. Tear patterns vary, with the most common being avulsions from the inferior pole of the patella. For complete tears resulting in extensor mechanism compromise, surgical treatment typically entails acute repair. In this technique, we describe the use of a bioinductive bovine collagen implant to augment a patellar tendon repair in the setting of chronic patellar tendinopathy.
