Influence of Patella Height on Total Knee Arthroplasty: Outcomes and Survival.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to assess clinical results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with pre-operative patella alta or patella baja, compared to TKA with pre-operative normal patellar height.

Partitioning of trace metals between soft tissues and shells of Patella aspera [PDF]
This paper describes the partitioning of iron, manganese, zinc, copper, cadmium, cobalt, nickel and lead between the soft tissues and the shells of the gastropod mollusc Patella aspera. Specimens of the limpet P aspera were collected from a clean coastal

On the role of the J-E constitutive relationship in applied geoelectromagnetism
In current applications of the Induced Polarization (IP) method, the Debye and Cole-Cole models are used to study relaxation and dispersion properties of rocks, though it is believed that this type of modelisation is confused and vague, because

Gearing effects of the patella (knee extensor muscle sesamoid) of the helmeted guineafowl during terrestrial locomotion [PDF]
Human patellae (kneecaps) are thought to act as gears, altering the mechanical advantage of knee extensor muscles during running. Similar sesamoids have evolved in the knee extensor tendon independently in birds, but it is unknown if these also affect ...

Frontal Tendon Lengthening Plasty for Treatment of Structural Patella Baja
Patella baja is a severe complication seen after trauma, prolonged immobilization and surgery. Several surgical methods have been described to proximalize the patella without a change in the patella tendon length.

Surgical versus non-surgical interventions for treating patellar dislocation [PDF]
Background: Patellar dislocation occurs when the patella disengages completely from the trochlear (femoral) groove. Following reduction of the dislocation, conservative (non-surgical) rehabilitation with physiotherapy may be used.

Biomechanics of the knee extensor mechanism and its relationship to patella tendinopathy: A review
The term jumpers knee for patella tendinitis, as coined by Dr. Martin Blazina, is now commonly referred to as tendinopathy. He believed it was associated with patella alta.

Finite volume effects in SU(2) with two adjoint fermions [PDF]
Many evidences from lattice simulations support the idea that SU(2) with two Dirac flavors in the adjoint representation (also called Minimal Walking Technicolor) is IR conformal.
