“…One study described the use of a gracilis and semitendinosus grafts to reconstruct a previously repaired tendon that has failed, with a good result following bracing and physiotherapy (Wagih 2014). Another study described a double row suture anchor fixation with Achilles allograft augmentation (Cregar et al 2022). Another case series studies showed good to excellent outcomes after operative repair of chronic patellar tears using a direct repair approach with autogenous or allogenous graft augmentation and cerclage wire reinforcement (Jabalameli et al 2018).…”

Patellar tendon tears are rare debilitating injuries that deeply affect patients’ ability to ambulate. Prompt repair is recommended for more optimal outcomes. Chronic tears are more diffcult to treat. There is no standard of care procedure for this matter and multiple techniques have been described. In this article, we present a case of chronic recurrent patellar tendon tear that has failed surgery twice. The technique performed is a V-Y quadriceps-plasty along with a patellar tendon reconstruction using tibialis anterior allograft in a triangular fashion around the tibial tubercle or as we call a Delta repair of the patellar tendon. A dermal allograft was used to drape our construct providing a biological scaffold. This technique is not previously described as of the time of publication of this paper.
