title: [Reconstruction of the extensor mechanism using a free, allogenic, freeze-dried patellar graft].
abstract: Allograft reconstruction of a deficient extensor mechanism is sufficient using an allogenic, freeze-dried patellar graft sterilized with peracetic acid. The reduced risk of infection is an advantage over fresh-frozen grafts.
