چکیده

The management of recalcitrant patellar tendinopathies in the athletic population can be vexing to both the surgeonand patient. To date the majority of treatments for this disease pathology are non-surgical in nature. When surgicalintervention is required, open debridement and/or tendon take-down with repair has been necessary. We proposea novel technique for the treatment of insertional patellar tendinopathies and symptomatic partial tearing utilizing abio-inductive implant.Level of evidence: V
