Abstract EN
Presented in this report is a complex revision case of a patellar tendon repair preceded by excess tendon excision to correct for recurrent patella alta deformity, in a workers’ compensation patient.
The goal of this procedure was to alleviate this patient’s pain, to preserve his ability to function in his activities of daily living, and to allow him to return to work at some capacity.
On postoperative radiographs, the revision procedure appeared to have successfully corrected this patient’s patella alta deformity.
After an extended rehabilitation process, this patient had reached maximal medical improvement at 1-year follow-up.
He displayed modest improvements in all PROs, including a clinically significant improvement in his short-form mental component score.
Despite his functional capacity being still somewhat limited, this patient reported subjective satisfaction after this complicated salvage procedure.
