  • Title: [Recent rupture of the patellar tendon. Apropos of 9 cases].
    Author: Badelon O, Saillant G, Roy-Camille R.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1985 Oct; 122(10):519-22. PubMed ID: 4066800.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a series of nine fresh ruptures of the patellar tendon which occurred principally at its upper part. They were repaired by the Judet's technique protected with a circular nylon inserted around the superior pole of the patella or through the patella and through the tibial tuberosity. A transposition of the distal tendons of the semitendinosus and gracilis muscles was done with success in one case. The reeducation started early in the last cases.
