Suture Bridge Transosseous Quadriceps Tendon Repair for Spontaneous Quadriceps Tendon Rupture in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease.

ABSTRACT: End-stage renal disease with spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) is a specific condition that differs from classic QTR. The tissue quality of the quadriceps tendon (QT), the rupture site, the mechanism of injury, and the pathophysiology of the rupture mechanism all have an effect on conventional QT repair procedures, with a higher likelihood of rerupture or failed repair construction. We believe that our technique provides repair-site stability, strong repair construction, increased contact surface healing, and a reduced chance of rerupture after QT repair. Furthermore, in most patients who have end-stage renal disease with QTR, misdiagnosis and/or underestimation occurs, resulting in proximal retraction of the QT and poor results; however, this technique can be performed with alternative procedures such as augmentation or QT lengthening. The suture bridge transosseous QT repair technique relies on biomechanics knowledge for better stability. Suture bridge repair concept can achieve better healing of all layers of the QT until returning to normal activity with no disability and an improved quality of life.
