IRIGOYEN, María Cristina; BIDOLEGUI, Fernando  e  PEREIRA, Sebastián. Fractura de fémur distal asociada con una lesión del tendón cuadricipital: reporte de dos casos. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2022, vol.87, n.2, pp.238-245. ISSN 1852-7434.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.15417/issn.1852-7434.2022.87.2.1502.

Fractures of the distal femur, especially open fractures, occur in association with high-energy trauma. The presence of associated injuries around the knee is common; however, the association with a complete quadricipital tendon injury has been poorly documented. Early diagnosis and adequate treatment of both injuries is essential to achieve good postoperative outcomes. We present two cases of exposed intra-articular distal femoral fractures associated with complete quadricipital tendon injuries. The repair of the associated tendon injury with transosseous tunnels after fracture fixation allows an early rehabilitation protocol, essential to obtain good functional outcomes.

Palavras-chave : Fracture; distal femur; injury; quadricipital tendon; extensor mechanism.
