Patellar ligament ruptures concerning 6 cases

ABSTRACT

In this study, six cases of patellar ligament ruptures [five recent ones and one inveterate] affecting only the tendon fibers were reported. The osseous stripping of the rotular point and of the anterior tibia tuberosity was not considered. A surgical treatment was done. More sutures were undertaken to wipe out lesions [five cases] or transosseous points [one case]. A protection centering in the Mac Laughlin way achieved the repair in all the cases. An immediate reeducation was undertaken for five times. There were excellent results over the active extension [six cases]
