The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of repair with the peroneus
longus tendon of ruptures which developed in the knee extensor mechanism
following trauma or total knee arthroplasty. The results were examined of 9
knees of 7 patients who underwent repair of extensor system ligament injury
with peroneus longus tendon autograft. The injuries were of the quadriceps
tendon only in 2 knees, quadriceps tendon+ medial retinaculum in 4 knees and
patellar tendon in 3 knees. The ipsilateral peroneus longus tendon was harvested
and repair was made to the ruptured quadriceps tendon, medial retinaculum and
patellar tendon. Technically, the peroneus longus tendon was wrapped around
the torn quadriceps tendon and closed with the fan-out technique. In tears of the
patellar tendon, repair was applied by opening 2 parallel tunnels lengthwise on
the patella, then the two ends of the tendon were passed through the separate
tunnels in the patella. All the patients operated on for ruptures of the patellar
tendon, quadriceps tendon and/or medial retinaculum, returned to their daily
life without any support by the 6th month postoperatively. Reconstruction with
peroneus longus tendon can be considered a safe and effective method.
