Quadriceps and Patellar tendon injuries
Traditionally patellar tendon repair is done by the suture anchors and the knee is immobilized for many weeks to protect the repair, resulting in delayed recovery and knee stiffness. Now reconstruction with hamstring tendon will help in immediate mobilization of the knee is possible after the surgery. This results in excellent surgical outcomes with improved recovery within a three-month time frame as opposed to 6 to 8 months in traditional fixation methods.
