Abstract:

Congenital absence of the patella is extremely rare, and there are very few reports on this condition. We describe our experience of congenital, bilateral absence of the patella in a 17-year-old girl. Her chief complaint was an inability to run, jump, or extend her back in the standing position. Plain X-rays showed complete absence of the patella, but bones involving the pubis were present and intact. Magnetic resonance (MR) images were acquired, and this report focuses on our MR-based analysis. MR T2-weighted and proton-enhanced imaging showed a dark, low-signal band, between the quadriceps t

Abstract:

Background: Patellar tendon ruptures have routinely been repaired with transosseous suture tunnels. The use of knotless suture anchors for repair has been suggested as an alternative. Purpose: To compare the load to failure and gap formation of patellar tendon repair at the inferior pole of the patella with knotless suture anchor tape versus transosseous sutures. A secondary objective was to investigate whether either technique shows an association between bone density and load to failure. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Introduction. Quadriceps tendon ruptures (QTR) frequently occur in patients with end-stage renal failure, while triceps brachii tendon ruptures (TTR) are less common. This is the first properly documented report of a simultaneous ipsilateral traumatic rupture of both of these tendons. Case Report. A 50-year-old patient, on hemodialysis for end-stage renal failure, fell on his right side. He presented with sudden right knee and elbow pain, with functional impairment of both joints. X-rays showed avulsion-like osseous lesions on the olecranon and patella with a low-riding patella. Ultrasound con

Abstract:

Mechanical properties of the stress-shielded patellar tendon were studied in the rabbit knee. Stress shielding was accomplished by stretching a stainless-steel wire installed between the patella and tibial tubercle and thus, releasing the tension in the patellar tendon completely. Tensile tests were carried out on the specimens obtained from the patellar tendons which were exposed to the stress shielding for 1 to 6 weeks. The stress shielding changed the mechanical properties of the patellar tendon significantly: it decreased the tangent modulus and tensile strength to 9 percent of the control

The purpose of this study was to evaluate localized patterns of patellar tendon deformation during passive knee flexion. Ultrasound radiofrequency data were collected from the patellar tendons of 20 healthy young adults during knee flexion over a range of motion of 50°–90° of flexion. A speckle tracking approach was used to compute proximal and distal tendon displacements and elongations. Nonuniform tissue displacements were visible in the proximal tendon (P < .001), with the deep tendon undergoing more distal displacement than the superficial tendon.

Background: There is a lack of evidence regarding the optimum extensor-sided fixation method for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. There is increased interest in avoiding patellar drilling via soft tissue–only fixation to the distal quadriceps, thus reconstructing the medial quadriceps tendon–femoral ligament (MQTFL). The biomechanical implications of differing extensor-sided fixation constructs remain unknown. Hypothesis: The null hypothesis was there would be no differences between traditional MPFL reconstruction and MQTFL reconstruction with respect to resistance to late

Collagen content and cross-linking are believed to be major determinants of tendon structural integrity and function.

Abstract:

Tendon injuries have, for many years, frustrated clinicians and patients alike due to their longevity and resistance to therapy. In recent years there has been good response in the extensor tendons of the lower limb to an intense painful eccentric exercise protocol. As yet there is no established reason known why a tendon should develop degeneration within its structure or why it should respond to the eccentric exercises. We do however know that, like bone, tendons are biologically active and rapidly adapt to the mechanical environment to which they are exposed. Recent investigations have reve

Abstract:

The primary goal of ACL reconstruction is to limit post-operative anterior knee laxity without over-constraining the knee. For both hamstring tendon and patella tendon grafts used for ACL reconstruction, initial graft tension is applied to limit post-operative knee laxity. Both types of graft stress relax following implantation, decreasing the graft tension. Previous studies have shown that preconditioning reduces the tension decrease due to stress relaxation for both hamstring tendons [1] and patella tendons [2]. While hamstring tendon grafts are typically preconditioned in tension on a graft

Abstract:

Tendon injuries are common yet often fail to heal naturally, especially in cases in which the native tendon-to-bone insertion site is disrupted. Surgical tendon repairs are often limited by the inability of the ruptured tendon to functionally attach back to the underlying bone. For patients with tendon injuries, poor tendon-to-bone integration prolongs recovery time and increases the risk of re-rupture. Improvements in tendon repair will require a more complete understanding of both the biological and mechanical phenomena that occur during natural tendon-to-bone healing. Mechanical studies of

Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) syndrome is a very common knee disorder. A possible cause may be excessive lateral force applied by the quadriceps and the patellar tendon producing an abnormal distribution of force and pressure within the patellofemoral joint [1]. EMG and in-vivo studies have been conducted to understand the function of the quadriceps and its relationship with PFP [2,3]. These studies suggest a strong relationship between muscle forces and PFP which originates from high lateral retropatellar contact forces.

Ligaments and tendons of the knee are subjected to large loads during sports and work related activities, and thus, are frequently injured. For the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL), there are over 100,000 and 50,000 annual tears, respectively, in the United States alone. As a torn ACL has limited healing potential, surgical reconstruction using autograft replacements, such as the bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) as well as the quadrupled semitendinosus and gracilis tendons, are performed in a large number of patients to restore knee stability. In spite of t

Abstract:

Tendons have a complex, viscoelastic mechanical behavior that depends on their composition and structure. Understanding these structure-function relationships may help elucidate important differences in the varying functional behaviors of specific tendons as well as guide targeted treatment modalities and tissue engineered constructs. The tendon extracellular matrix (ECM) can be described as a biocomposite material consisting of collagen fibers surrounded by an extrafibrillar matrix. Many studies have focused on the role of the fibers on the tensile properties of tendon; however, fibers alone
