AI Article Synopsis
- A literature search was conducted across multiple databases to assess management techniques for extensor mechanism disruption after total knee arthroplasty.
- Currently, there are various methods available for this condition, but there are no high-level evidence studies (level I studies) to guide surgeons on best practices.
- Primary repair is not recommended; however, allograft reconstruction may be beneficial if performed with the correct surgical technique and proper tensioning of the allograft.
Article Abstract
We performed a literature search on PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct/Scopus, Google Scholar, and Google to evaluate results of several techniques to manage disruption of the extensor mechanism after total knee arthroplasty. Different methods to manage extensor mechanism disruption are available at present, with no level I studies informing surgeons in an evidence-based fashion. Primary repair is not indicated. Allograft reconstruction could be effective, providing that appropriate surgical technique and allograft tensioning are implemented.
