Load-to-failure characteristics of patellar tendon allograft superior capsule reconstruction compared with the native superior capsule

Background: The potential use of a patellar tendon allograft for superior capsular reconstruction has been demonstrated biomechanically; however, there are concerns regarding compromised fixation strength owing to the longitudinal orientation of the fibers in the patellar tendon. Therefore, the purp...
