Sumario:Intrasubstance patellar tendon ruptures are an uncommon injury that can have devastating long-term effects for patients. Operative intervention to repair the ruptured tendon is the gold standard treatment for these injuries and can be performed using a variety of techniques. Unlike the more common patellar tendon ruptures at the level of the patella, repairs of intrasubstance ruptures are often challenging because of the poor quality of the remaining tendon fibers. Tendon repair with augmentation via bio-inductive implants has gained popularity in upper extremity literature, as it has demonstrated improved tendon strength and patient outcomes. However, there remains a sparsity of reports regarding tendon augmentation in the lower extremity literature. Here, we describe repair of an intrasubstance patellar tendon rupture using a modified SpeedBridge repair and augmentation with a bio-inductive implant.
