Abstract
Innovations in orthopaedic surgery have led to advancements in repair techniques for extensor mechanism tendon tears. The most popular method has been the three bone tunnel technique. This involves a locking suture placed into the substance of the torn extensor tendon and passing this through three vertical tunnels through the patella bone. The Zip Loop Toggle Loc Device (Biomet Sports Medicine Warsaw, Indiana) has been used in multiple applications to include cruciate ligament reconstruction, acute AC joint dislocation, distal biceps tendon repair, and ankle syndesmotic injuries. We propose the use of the ZipLoopToggleLocDevice in a novel technique for the repair of extensor mechanism tears. To our knowledge, the use of the Zip Loop Device in extensor mechanism repair has not been described.
