On the development of the patella [PDF]

Development, 2015
The current view of skeletal patterning fails to explain the formation of sesamoid bones. These small bones, which facilitate musculoskeletal function, are exceptionally embedded within tendons. Although their structural design has long puzzled researchers, only a limited model for sesamoid bone development has emerged.

Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds [PDF]

, 2014
The patella (kneecap) exhibits multiple evolutionary origins in birds, mammals, and lizards, and is thought to increase the mechanical advantage of the knee extensor muscles.

A cadaveric study of the location and morphology of the central patellar ridge for bone-patellar tendon-bone graft

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Introduction The central ridge of the patella is the thickest area of patella and varies among patients. This cadaveric study identified the location and thickness of the bone at the central patella ridge for bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) harvesting ...

Patella Locking Star-Plate as Salvage to the Failed Tension Band Wiring for a Patella Fracture: A Case Report

Case Reports in Orthopedic Research, 2022
The integrity of the patella is pivotal for the efficient functioning of the knee extensor mechanism. Thus, patella fracture management cannot be neglected and utmost priority should be determined for its preservation and maintenance of knee functioning.
