Abstract EN
Patellar tendon rupture in children is especially rare.
The fact that the area of traumatic rupture has wide variations makes surgical treatment difficult.
We present an 11-year-old boy with acute traumatic patellar tendon rupture at the tibial tuberosity attachment without avulsion fracture.
Primary end-to-end repair and reinforcement using 1.5 mm stainless steel wires as a surgical strategy were undertaken.
Early range of motion began with a functional knee brace and the reinforced stainless wire was removed 3 months after surgery.
Knee function at the final follow-up was satisfactory.
We suggest that this strategy may provide a useful option for surgical treatment.
