| Sumario: | Patellar tendon rupture is an infrequent cause of disability in patients younger than 40 years, with chronic injury and repeat procedures creating difficulty in facilitating healing. Use of hamstring autograft to reinforce the repair has been reported to strengthen the repair construct in patients with previous failure or chronic injury. This technique describes utilization of gracilis and semitendinosus tendon autografts to reconstruct the patellar tendon in a case of primary repair failure. |
