From: Simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture in a healthy young male: a case report
Surgical procedure for the left knee. A An anterior longitudinal incision almost 8 cm in length exposes the distal end of the ruptured quadriceps tendon and the proximal pole of the patella. All quadriceps tendons are ruptured at 2 cm above the superior pole of the patella. Two 5.5-mm-diameter suture anchors (Corkscrew FT; Arthrex, Naples, FL) are placed at the superior pole of the patella (white arrows). B The tendons are fixed end-to-end with nonabsorbable sutures passed through suture anchors. C The suture site is checked for instability with the knee flexed to 90°
