Patellar tendon avulsion after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament.
We report a case of rupture of a reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) combined with avulsion of the inferior patellar ligament. The two lesions were repaired during one operation using the quadriceps tendon as a graft for the damaged ACL.
