Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Repair for Recurrent Patellar Dislocation

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2010
Background The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the primary restraint to extreme lateral displacement and is typically disrupted with an acute lateral patellar dislocation. Patients who fail a comprehensive nonoperative program and experience recurrent lateral patellar instability episodes are candidates for surgical treatment. Current surgical

[Rupture of the patellar ligament].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 1990
Patellar tendon ruptures are relatively rare. The rupture may be caused by direct trauma, but is mostly caused by acute or chronic excessive traction force. Degenerative bone/tendon disease may also give rise to rupture. The diagnosis, which usually is not difficult to make, may easily be overlooked when active extension is still possible as may happen

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Patellar Autograft Tendon

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2002
There are many techniques, graft choices, and outcome studies evaluating anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The current authors specifically look at reconstruction with the patellar tendon from a scientific perspective. Miniopen, endoscopic, and two-incision operative techniques in addition to hamstring versus patellar tendon autograft ...

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Patellar Tendon Autograft

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1994
Although the management of the PCL-injured knee remains controversial, there is a group of patients who will develop accelerated traumatic arthritis in whom surgical intervention is warranted. PCL reconstruction with a patellar tendon graft can reliably restore objective stability in over 90% of patients. Strict attention to detail, however, especially

Benign giant-cell tumor of the patellar ligament

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 1998
We report the symptoms, clinical findings, and treatment of a patient with an extra-articular benign giant-cell tumor of the patellar ligament. Between the years 1966 and 1996 no similar case has been found to be documented by a Medline search. On palpation, a soft, mobile lesion, the size of a pigeon's egg, was felt in the lateral region of the ...

Patellar fracture and avulsion of the patellar ligament complicating arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Orthopaedic review, 1991
Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee using the middle third of the patellar tendon is an effective treatment for acute or chronic anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency. The strength of this bone-ligament-bone graft is superior to virtually all other autogenous tissue utilized.

Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with patellar tendon

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 1992
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a bone-patella tendon-bone free autologous graft was performed with an arthroscopic technique in 73 patients with chronic insufficiency. Sixty-nine (94.5%) were available for personal follow-up 3-5 years after the operation.

REPAIR OF A TORN PATELLAR LIGAMENT

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1932
This paper is presented to describe a case of a ruptured patellar ligament and to detail its successful repair. Patellar tendons can be torn either by direct or by indirect violence. Direct violence presupposes a blow by a sharp instrument capable of severing the majority of the fibers of the tendon. Such an injury usually opens the knee joint and the
