The “Acuflex ACL Guide-Assisted Transosseous Tunnel” Quadriceps Tendon Repair Technique a Straightforward, Replicable, and Step-by-Step Demonstration of a Novel Technique on a Cadaveric Specimen
摘要
While the disruption of the knee's extensor mechanism is rare, its effects can be severe. Surgical intervention is the primary approach for treating these injuries, and proper execution is needed to prevent lasting functional deficits. The Quadriceps muscle–tendon unit is essential for knee extension, and injuries can hinder independent mobility. Numerous surgical techniques are advocated to re-establish the continuity of the quadriceps tendon. We aim to present a reliable technique for quadriceps tendon repair utilized by both authors of this article in a high-volume practice for the past five years.
