“…Several techniques have been proposed for reconstruction, since the first direct suture with silver wire described by McBurney and Pilvher,[ 18 ] including metalwork use, autograft, allograft,[ 19 ] fascial flaps, and synthetic augmentation. [ 20 ] The principal problem in reconstructing extensor mechanism rupture is to achieve an adequate protection of the suture allowing an early mobilization to avoid articular rigidity.…”

The quadriceps femoris muscles (QMFs) form the largest human muscle and it transmits a high amount of forces. Quadriceps tendon (QT), therefore, is the terminal for transmitting high intensity forces and its structure is severely tested during daily, work and sport activities. Spontaneous rupture of QT is rare and it is commonly associated with systemic comorbidities, leading to tendon degeneration such as connective tissue disorders, chronic renal failure, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, hyperparathyroidism, gout and pharmacological treatments with fluoroquinolones and steroids. [1] While unilateral rupture is a Spontaneous rupture of quadriceps tendon (QT) is a rare condition and it is commonly associated with systemic comorbidities and medical products assumption, which may lead to tendon degeneration. While unilateral rupture is a quite common injury, spontaneous bilateral ruptures are very rare. Herein, we report two consecutive cases of spontaneous bilateral QT rupture in two patients with a positive history of chronic statin use, successfully treated with bilateral single-stage reconstruction with polyethylene-terephthalate tape augmentation. At 12 months of follow-up, both patients recovered the full extension, a 120° pain-free flexion and knee scores improvement. Magnetic resonance imaging at one year showed a complete, bilateral, bio-integration of the augmentation for each knee. In conclusion, polyethylene terephthalate tape augmentation provides a good structural support with a good grade of bio-integration, allowing a fast recovery.

“…Numerous techniques have been recommended for acute and chronic rupture of quadriceps tendon [7][8][9]. Over the years, surgical techniques have progressed from simple suture to wirereinforced repairs, cerclage wire autografts, allografts, xenografts, and synthetic materials [7][8][9].…”

An Unusual Case of Bipartite Patella Fracture with Quadriceps Rupture

Bipartite patella fracture with quadriceps rupture is an unusual injury. It is quite often mistaken as an avulsion fracture of patella, and the X-ray of contra-lateral knee is useful for diagnosis, and appropriate treatment should be decided at the time of surgery. We report a single case of this entity in which bipartite patella fracture was misdiagnosed initially as a patellar fracture. IntroductionThe secondary ossification centre of patella that fails to coalesce with the primary ossification centre results in bipartite patella. The incidence of bipartite patella in general population is about 2%, and about 50% are bilateral, and only 2% are symptomatic.Research suggests that 75% of patellae ossify by single centre and 23% ossify by two to three centres [1]. These secondary ossification centres usually appear around the age of 12 [1-3]. The primary centre of ossification generally appears between 21 and 54 months in girls and 36 and 72 months in boys [1].Saupe, in 1943, classified bipartite patella into the following three types: type I, located at the inferior pole, 5% of patients; type II, located at the lateral margin, 20% of patients; and type III is the superolateral location (most common type), 75% of patients [13].

“…Surgical techniques have evolved from simple direct silk suture, 17 wire repairs, autografts, xenografts, allografts, and the use of synthetic materials. 18 Even McLaughlin in 1953 described the use of a 2-part surgery with traction for the best approximation of the 2 tendon segments.…”

Quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures in soccer players are severe injuries that require a long time for rehabilitation. In this article, the anatomic, biomechanical, and etiopathogenic aspects are revised. In addition, surgical techniques are described that include all reconstructive steps with patellar and quadriceps tendon sutures. The technical supplements with hamstrings or quadriceps are also explained.
