"Skin incision was made over the distal pole of the patella and the proximal patellar tendon. The Paratenon was incised and the patellar tendon was the visualized. I elected to remove approximately a 1 cm wide small portion of the proximal patellar tendon similar to what I would do for a patellar tendon harevesting for an ACL reconstruction. I also removed a small wedge of bone from the proximal patella and from the distal patella to stimulate healing. I performed additional debridement around the patellar tendon in the distal patella..."
