Augmentation of the patellar ligament with a bone-patellar tendon-bone inlay allograft.

We report two cases of deficient patellar tendons with severe anterior knee pain and functional limitations that were augmented with a bone-patellar tendon-bone inlay allograft. There are numerous reports in the literature describing techniques of acute and chronic repairs of ruptured patellar tendons, but we describe a new technique using allograft tissue.
