Abstract

We describe a simple technique for the reconstruction of the extensor apparatus due to chronic rupture of the patellar tendon by using an ipsilateral hamstring autograft with tunneling of the patella and associating a direct repair of the remaining tendon with bone anchors. The time of evolution of the lesion was three months. Eight months follow-up with a presurgical Lysholm score of 46 and postsurgical of 91, presurgical Insall-Salvati of 2 and postsurgical of 1. There were no complications.
