A double patella-like condition secondary to synovial osteochondromatosis [PDF]

, 2012
To our knowledge, this is the first case of synovial osteochondromatosis in a patient presenting with a double patella-like condition. The true duplication of the patella, which is called double patella, is extremely rare.

A Novel Splice Variant in ERGIC1 Causes Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita—Characterization Using Urine‐Derived Cells

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is defined as the presence of joint contractures affecting at least two body regions at birth. Three different ERGIC1 variants have been reported in individuals with AMC. Here, we report on a 16‐year‐old male with a homozygous ERGIC1 c.250+1G>A variant that was classified as a variant of uncertain ...

Histological analysis of the spatio‐temporal development of porcine knee cartilage in embryonic and early postnatal stages

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study dynamically charts the developmental process of the knee joint cartilage from the embryonic stage through to postnatal life, revealing key developmental events including the origin of knee joint development, chondrification, primary ossification, secondary ossification, formation of the cartilage cancal, and formation of the growth plate. It

Isokinetic Knee Muscle Strength Parameters and Anthropometric Indices in Athletes with and without Hyperextended Knees

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Hypermobility has been linked to decreased knee performance, including isokinetic and isometric knee strength. This study aimed to determine whether athletes with and without knee hyperextension have different hamstring-to ...

A rare case of osteonecrosis of patella following quadriceps distractive lengthening for neglected non-union patella

Journal of Orthopaedic Reports
Neglected patella fracture non-unions are extremely rare and contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle makes it immensely difficult to operate non-union patella after a long time.

Patellar Giant-Cell Tumor: a Case Report

Journal of Experimental Life Science, 2018
Giant cell tumor (GCT) found mostly in the long bones metaphysis or epiphysis. GCT usually occur between the ages of a third and fourth decade and locally aggressive. Giant-Cell Tumor seldom affects the patella. Multicentric forms rarely reported.

Variable grouping patterns in primates: A test of the better competitor hypothesis in male Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intraspecific variation in social organization (IVSO) within primate populations can arise due to male mating competition. Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) populations exhibit both single‐male and multi‐male groups, providing an opportunity to examine the relationship between male competitive ability and social organization.

Patellar Tendon Imbrication With a Double‐Row Configuration for the Treatment of Patella Alta in Skeletally Immature Patients [PDF]

Arthrosc Tech
Abstract Patella alta is a major anatomical risk factor for patellar instability. Although a tibial tubercle osteotomy with distalization has been described in this context, a patellar tendon imbrication more directly addresses the pathoanatomy and avoids the risk of physeal and apophyseal injury in skeletally immature patients.

FRACTURE OF THE PATELLA. [PDF]

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1901
In fracture of the patella, where no operation is performed and ligamentous union is permitted to occur, as a rule, the result is far from satisfactory. Though the bones may be in close apposition at the termination of treatment, the tissue between the fragments soon stretches. The patient limps or is quite lame, is unfitted for any active exercise and,
