Abstract
The operative treatment of patellar tendon ruptures in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is complicated by the reduced mechanical properties of the tissue. These make it necessary to use, in addition to an end-to-end suture of the debrided tendon stumps and temporary stabilization by a McLaughlin cerclage, an additional augmentation, for example a Trevira band.Entities:
