Die arthroskopische Behandlung der chronischen Tendinose der Patellarsehne (Jumper’s Knee): Operationstechnik

Zusammenfassung

Die von uns beschriebene Technik zur Behandlung der chronischen Tendinose der Patellarsehne (Jumper’s Knee) stellt eine rein arthroskopische Therapie dar, welche die Vorteile einer minimalinvasiven Technik mit schneller Rehabilitation und geringer Komplikationsrate mit exzellenten klinischen Ergebnissen, welche mit den in der Literatur beschriebenen Resultaten der offenen operativen Behandlung vergleichbar sind, kombiniert.

Abstract

The described surgical technique with the arthroscopic resection of the lower patellar pole for the treatment of chronic patellar tendinosis leads to excellent clinical results. It combines the advantages of a minimal-invasive method with fast rehabilitation and return to sporting activities with comparable results to described open procedures.
