case_images: On the right side also, patellar ligament was destroyed, tubercle of tibia and lower pole of patella were exposed, but the joint cavity seemed to be intact [Figure 1].

case_images: Thereafter, the semitendinosus tendon was passed through patella from medial to lateral side and then passed in reverse direction through the tibial tunnel and fixed to distal intact insertion of semitendinosus, thus forming a loop; the tension of the reconstructed tendon was adjusted by sutured in 30  of flexion of knee joint [Figure 2a and b].
