FIELD: medicine, in particular, traumatology. SUBSTANCE: this method prescribes carrying out myolysis of musculus quadriceps femoris along intermuscular sulci, properly positioning separated ends of ruptured tendon, leading autofascial strip preserving pedicle, running at bottom through knee-pan canalis ossei and forming chiasm at top in proximity to line of rupture through entire tendon thickness, pulling musculi vastis lateralis isolated in advance close to center portion and downwards, and finally suturing these muscles together above reconditioned tendon of straight muscle. EFFECT: lower rate of complications, curtailed immobilization period and earlier start of functional treatment.
