| Abstract: | Quadriceps tendon suture anchor repair provides biomechanically greater and more consistent failure loads than transosseous tunnel repair, including less cyclic displacement (gap formation). Although satisfactory clinical outcomes are found with both repair techniques, few studies provide a side-to-side comparison. However, recent research demonstrates better clinical outcomes in using suture anchors, with equal failure rates. Suture anchor repair is minimally invasive requiring smaller incisions, less patellar dissection, and eliminates patellar tunnel drilling that can breach the anterior cortex, create stress risers, result in osteolysis from nonabsorbable intraosseous sutures and longitudinal patellar fractures. Suture anchor quadriceps tendon repair should now be considered the gold standard. |
