Ligament augmentation reconstruction system artificial ligaments in patellar tendon reconstruction - a chronic patellar tendon rupture after multiple operations: A case report

Figure 1 The physical examination and surgical technique. A: The underlined showing the patella inferior pole of the uninjured knee, the overline showing the patella inferior pole of the injured knee; B: The image demonstrates the way in which the “figure 8” reconstruction was performed.

Figure 2 X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging. A: The X-ray showing a high riding patella; B: Magnetic resonance imaging showing a rupture of the patellar tendon. Patellar tendon height (H) and patellar length (L) were used to calculate the Insall-Salvati ratio.

Figure 3 Post-operative X-ray showing that the patella had moved distally.
