Discussion

A novel surgical approach restores function in chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures, suggesting improved graft efficiency with minimized risks.

Restoring extensor mechanism function effectively in chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures is achieved with the new technique.
The proximal socket method reduces graft wastage while minimizing stress on the patella during the repair process.
Surgical intervention involves ipsilateral semitendinosus autograft fixed with Endobutton, reinforced with FiberWire sutures.
The technique highlights a safer alternative to traditional transosseous methods, potentially lowering fracture risk.],

Porcelli et al. (2025) studied this question.
