摘要
Late reconstruction of undiagnosed ruptures of the patellar tendon by transfer of the gracilis and semitendinosus tendons, supplemented by a heavy-gauge encircling wire to bridge the gap, was successful in 4 patients. These tendons are stronger than fascial strips which have previously been used for the purpose. The 4 patients treated by this technique returned to their preinjury funtional levels.
