Sumario:Patellar tendon ruptures are rare injuries in young athletes, resulting in disruption of the extensor mechanism, and require surgery for functional recovery. Several techniques have been reported, including end-to-end repair and single-row suture anchor constructs. The strength of these repairs has been questioned, and they are commonly augmented. We endorse a double-row repair technique that provides an anatomic restoration of the footprint, has high fixation strength, eliminates the need for graft augmentation, and allows early motion.
