Abstract

This report describes a method of patellar ligament reconstruction. Our patient sustained a rupture of the patellar ligament and had reconstruction with allograft patellar ligament after failed primary repair. At the 2-year follow-up, his range of motion was 0 degrees to 110 degrees and he was able to return to unrestricted standing work.
