We compared the biomechanical properties of transosseous patellar tendon repair with PLLA surgical mesh augmentation to transosseous repair without augmentation. Ten matched pairs of cadaveric knees were used. Specimens in each pair were randomized to undergo the transosseous technique alone or the transosseous technique augmented with a PLLA surgical mesh. An inferior pole patellar tendon rupture was simulated and the repair procedure was performed. Specimens were cyclically loaded for 500 cycles. Gap formation was measured using two sensors placed medial and lateral to the repair site. After cyclic loading, load to failure was determined by pulling the tendon at a constant rate until a sudden decrease in load occurred. The primary outcome measure was cyclic gap formation at the medial and lateral sensors. Compared with controls, specimens that underwent PLLA mesh-augmented repair had significantly lower medial gap formation at all testing intervals up to 500 cycles (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and significantly lower lateral gap formation at all testing intervals from 10 to 500 cycles (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Transosseous patellar tendon repair augmented with a PLLA woven mesh device provided significantly greater resistance to gap formation compared with transosseous repair alone. These results suggest that PLLA mesh augmentation of the transosseous technique is biomechanically effective for patellar tendon repair.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1755374","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,2]],"date-time":"2022-09-02T00:06:36Z","timestamp":1662077196000},"page":"1224-1229","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effect
