description A 44-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of left knee pain and dysfunction. The patient had a complex surgical history including patellar fracture repair, subsequent patellar ligament repair, and ultimately allograft reconstruction which was complicated by septic arthritis requiring graft resection. On presentation to our clinic, she was noted to have significant degenerative disease in addition to chronic extensor mechanism deficiency. She underwent primary total knee arthroplasty with concomitant tibial tubercle osteotomy and advancement. The patient has had an excellent result postoperatively including return of full range of motion without residual extensor lag.
