Two cases of combined patellar tendon avulsion from the tibia and patella
SICOT-J, 2018 Avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella and proximal tibial apophysis are independently rare injuries. They occur in children due to the relative weakness of the apophyseal cartilage compared to the ligaments and tendons.

Gearing effects of the patella (knee extensor muscle sesamoid) of the helmeted guineafowl during terrestrial locomotion [PDF]
, 2017 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 ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The TBX4 gene has a critical importance in the development of the lower limbs and lungs. Pathogenic variants in this gene are associated with a variable spectrum of skeletal anomalies of the lower limb and pneumological manifestations, with dominant or recessive inheritance.

Patella Footprint Technique—A Surgical Method for Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction
Arthroscopy Techniques, 2018 Recurrent patella instability is a common condition that may potentiate substantial knee dysfunction resulting in loss of time from work and sports. There are numerous factors that contribute to recurrent patella instability including tearing of the ...

Giant-cell tumor of the patella: An uncommon cause of fracture
Archives of Clinical and Experimental Surgery, 2017 Primary patellar tumors are highly unusual. Most are benign neoplasms with giant-cell tumors being the most common, followed by chondroblastomas and aneurysmal bone cysts.

Patella instability in children and adolescents
EFORT Open Reviews, 2016 Patellar instabilities are the most common knee pathologies during growth. Congenital dislocations are rare. Extensive, early soft tissue releases relocate the extensor mechanism and may enable normal development of the femoro-patellar anatomy ...

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.The hypothesis diagram illustrates the function and mechanism of circNR3C2: circNR3C2 overexpression can up‐regulate COL2, Aggrecan and SOX9 expression, and regulate chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs by targeting hsa‐miR‐647. Abstract Background Human adipose‐derived stem cells (hADSCs) are seed cells with application prospects in cartilage repair.

Tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joint 3D-kinematics in patients with posterior cruciate ligament deficiency compared to healthy volunteers [PDF]
, 2012 Background: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) plays an important role in maintaining physiological kinematics and function of the knee joint. To date mainly in-vitro models or combined magnetic resonance and fluoroscopic systems have been used for ...
