Patellar Tendon
Patellar tendons are one of the most commonly used grafts for the reconstruction of cruciate ligaments. Its strong bone blocks allow surgeons to maximize biomechanical properties by optimizing bone to bone contact in the tunnels. Tendon allografts remain an excellent repair option for any tendon repair procedure where multiple reconstructions have failed or where tendon ruptures or tears are present.
Patellar tendons are offered in:
- 10mm preshaped BTB
- Whole BTB
- Hemi BTB
Features and Benefits
- Ultra low dose frozen irradiated tendon (9.5 – 15 kGy) – assures sterility & maintaining biomechanical strength
- No autograft morbidity
- Simplifies procedure compared to an autograft BTB, saving OR time and cost
