Adjustable Cortical Fixation Repair Is a Safe and Effective Technique for Quadriceps Tendon Rupture.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report the clinical outcomes of quadriceps tendon repair using adjustable cortical fixation devices at a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Methods

A retrospective chart review identified patients who underwent quadriceps tendon repair using adjustable cortical fixation devices between January 2017 and March 2020. Patients with a partial tendon rupture were excluded.
