Fig 1 Magnetic resonance imaging of the left knee showing quadriceps tendinopathy. (A) Sagittal view of the left knee showing tendinopathy. It is important to measure the length of the lesion to determine the length of the skin incision. (B) An axial view of the left knee showing changes in the quadriceps tendon. (C) Coronal view of the left quadriceps tendon attaching to the patella. The high signal changes consistent with tendinopathy can be seen. (P, patella.)

Fig 2 A picture of the left knee showing patient position with the knee hanging. This allows for easy access to the operation field, and the leg can be moved as desired during surgery. The skin incision site is marked corresponding with the length of the changes on the sagittal view on magnetic resonance imaging.

Fig 3 After a skin incision on the left knee, a sharp dissection through the subcutaneous tissue is performed. The quadriceps tendon is incised along the fibers and the pathologic tissue is excised.

Fig 4 An intraoperative view showing removal of the pathologic tissue on the left proximal patella with a rongeur. It is important to remove the pathologic tissue and come to the bleeding surface on the proximal patella to stimulate healing.

Fig 5 The quadriceps tendon on the left extremity showing the healthy tissue after debridement. Excising the pathologic tissue and getting to the healthy tissue is important for healing and symptom relief. The whole tendon thickness can be visualized and the margins are inspected.

Fig 6 An aiming device is used to ream a tunnel in the left proximal patella for the reconstruction graft. A beath pin is drilled first in the desired position and a reamer is then used to create a tunnel. Before reaming the tunnel, it is important to confirm the position of the pin to minimize the risk of fracture, and patellar articular cartilage violation. The position can easily be confirmed by visualizing the entry and exit points of the pin relative to the patellar thickness. If in doubt, a mini C-arm can be used to confirm position.

Fig 7 After tunnel reaming on the left patella, a Hewson suture passer is used to facilitate graft passage (A), and (B) the graft is pulled through the tunnel with a limb on each side. The free limbs of the graft will be used to repair the quadriceps tendon.

Fig 8 (A) To facilitate the repair with a graft, a soft tissue tunnel is created on both the medial and the lateral sides and the graft is passed through the tunnel with the aid of passing sutures. (B) The quadriceps (QT) tendon can be visualized and the length of the graft limbs on the medial and lateral sides is checked to ensure that they correspond to the length of the defect to be repaired. (C) The limbs of the graft are crossed over the proximal pole of the patella and (D) the graft is sutured to the native healthy quadriceps tendon using a No. 2 nonabsorbable suture.

Fig 9 Suture anchors are placed in the left proximal patella (A) and the graft is sutured to the left proximal patella (B). This ensures that the graft is also firmly fixed to the proximal patella before repairing the defect.

Fig 10 After suturing the grafts to the left proximal patella with suture anchors, soft tissue tunnels are created on the medial and lateral sides of the quadriceps tendon and the free limbs of the graft. At this point, the graft limb that was on the lateral side is on the medial side, and the one that exited the patella on the medial side is lateral. It is important to put tension on the graft to ensure that it is not caught in the soft tissue. The goal is to have the same tension as the native quadriceps tendon.

Fig 11 To repair the defect, the graft is sutured to the native quadriceps tendon using nonabsorbable sutures while maintaining adequate tension on the graft (A). After completing the repair, the quadriceps tendon is inspected and the tension checked (B). In addition, the knee is flexed and extended to check the tension on the repair during range on motion. It is important to check the tension on the repair to ensure that it is not too tight and to guide rehabilitation.
