Patellar tendon rupture is a devastating complication after total knee arthroplasty. The results of surgical treatment of this complication were discouraging in most of the reports. We describe a case of rupture of patellar tendon 7 weeks after total knee arthroplasty treated with a turndown quadriceps flap and circumferential wiring. Two years and 6 months after operation, the patient had no extension lag of the knee and knee flexion to 110 degrees .
髌腱断裂是全膝关节置换术后一种严重的并发症。在大多数报告中,这种并发症的手术治疗结果并不理想。我们描述了一例全膝关节置换术后7周髌腱断裂的病例,采用股四头肌翻转皮瓣和环形钢丝固定治疗。术后两年零六个月,患者膝关节无伸直滞后,屈膝可达110度。
