TI  - BIOMECHANICAL COMPARISON OF REPAIR AND AUGMENTATION TECHNIQUES IN PATELLAR TENDON RUPTURES
AB  - PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to biomechanically compare theaugmentation techniques used in the surgical treatment of patellartendon ruptures.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was carried out withsixty fresh-frozen bovine knees. Patellar tendon repair was performed with transosseous repair with Krackow or modified - Kesslersuturing or suture anchor repair techniques. Dall-Miles cable, cerclage wire or polyester suture material was used for augmentation.each specimen was evaluated biomechanically by cyclic loading andstatic pullout tests.RESULTS: Significantly lower cyclic elongation values were recorded in the transosseous repair with Krackow suture group (p <0.05)in the comparison of primary repair groups. Lower cyclic elongation and higher maximal tensile strength values were measured in theaugmentation with Dall-Miles cable or cerclage wire groups thanthe other groups. Augmentation groups had higher maximal ten- sile strength values and lower gap formation than non-augmentedgroups.CONCLUSIONS: In the surgical treatment of patellar tendon rup- tures, augmentation biomechanically strengthens the initial stabi- lity of primary repair. The transosseous repair augmented with theDall-Miles cable or cerclage wire can be said to be the most biome- chanically stabilizing technique.
