Case: In this article, we present 2 cases of neglected patellar tendon rupture. One was treated using an Achilles tendon allograft, and the other with a patellar tendon-bone allograft. Both methods allowed for early range of motion and resulted in good functional outcomes with a 1-year follow-up period.
Conclusion: The choice of allograft for patellar tendon reconstruction is important. Although an Achilles allograft may be more readily available and have a high tensile strength, a bone-patellar tendon allograft may be a better choice when bone loss is present, and a high biological incorporation rate is desired.
