Diagnosis, aetiology and therapy of injuries to the extensor mechanism of the knee joint are presented. 22 cases of ruptures and discisions of the lig. patellae or the quadriceps tendon could be reexamined. All cases but one, with operation within the first week after injury, suturing with absorbable or non absorbable material, immobilisation for 6 weeks and following physical therapy, had a good functional result. No rerupture occurred. In one case a limitation of the range of movement had to be seen afer an open discision of the lig. patellae. After transposition of the tuberositas tibiae, discission of the scares and functional therapy a good result could also be achieved.
