Fig 6.
Anteroposterior view of right knee. The Krackow stitches have been redressed to remove any slack and to pull the pre-tied knot proximally before final tightening. The arrow points to the pre-tied knot, which is seated and tensioned appropriately with both limbs passed through it. The quadriceps tendon (A) and the patella (B) are identified. The gap between the 2 has been fully compressed.
