Abstract
Operative treatment of quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures with transosseous bone tunnels remains the gold standard, but potential benefits exist with the use of suture anchor fixation for these injuries. Such benefits include stronger biomechanical fixation, reduced soft-tissue disruption, smaller incision, reduced postoperative pain, shorter operative time, lower knot burden, lack of prepatellar bursa scarring, and avoidance of some transosseous repair risks. In this investigation, we present the reproducible technique and outcomes of using suture anchors for repair of quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures.
