Clinical examination and imaging were positive for complete patellar tendon rupture. Surgical treatment consisted of tendon repair and side-to-side augmentation with Gore-Tex membrane. Weight-bearing was allowed from day 1, knee flexion after 1 month, and weightlifting and running after 2 months. In 3 months, return to sport was achieved, a time shorter with respect to conventional techniques.\n\nConclusions: This case report highlights the possibility of shorter return to sport with this new technique.\n\nKeywords: Patellar tendon rupture, augmentation, Gore-Tex membrane.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i02.6752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,10]],"date-time":"2026-02-10T14:48:19Z","timestamp":1770734899000},"page":"80-84","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Gore-Tex Membrane Augmentation for Treatment of Acute Patellar Tendon Rupture in a Soccer Player \u2013 A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, IRCCS Ospedale S.
