Partial rupture of the patellar ligament

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1992
Eighty-one patients with 91 partial ruptures of the pa tellar ligament verified by ultrasonography were treated conservatively with a standardized training program based on the principles of eccentric loading. The partial ruptures were quantified by measuring the length of the hypoechoic lesion using ultrasonography in longi tudinal projection.

Study of patellar kinematics after reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament

Clinical Biomechanics, 2012
Background: Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is currently the technique of choice for the treatment of patellar instability. But what should be the most appropriate graft tension for optimal restoration of patellofemoral kinematics? Methods:

Augmentation of the patellar ligament with a bone‐patellar tendon‐bone inlay allograft

Arthroscopy, 1998
Abstract We report two cases of deficient patellar tendons with severe anterior knee pain and functional limitations that were augmented with a bone‐ patellar tendon‐bone inlay allograft. There are numerous reports in the literature describing techniques of acute and chronic repairs of ruptured patellar tendons, but we describe a new ...

Bilateral Patellar Ligament Rupture: A Case Report

Orthopedics, 1986
ABSTRACT: Patellar ligament ruptures are uncommon injuries; bilateral ruptures are rarely seen. When they do occur they are associated with chronic disease states. A case of a bilateral patellar ligament rupture secondary to trauma in a healthy man is presented. Appropriate management with aggressive surgical repair and rehabilitation are discussed.

Giant Cell Tumor with Involvement of the Patellar Ligament

Journal of Knee Surgery, 2010
We report a clinically, radiographically, and pathologically definite case ofa giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone arising in the tibial tuberosity. To our knowledge, this represents the first reported case ofa GCT of bone in this location. Due to involvement of the patellar ligament, the defect was not filled with methylmethacrylate; instead, bone grafting

Resection of the patellar ligament: A complication of arthroscopic synovectomy

Arthroscopy, 1989
Abstract Knee arthroscopy has evolved over the years to a point where most orthopaedic surgeons feel comfortable with both diagnostic and operative arthroscopy. As a result of the more powerful and sophisticated instrumentation available today, the role of operative arthroscopy has far surpassed original expectations.

MR imaging of patellar retinacular ligament injuries

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 1993
AbstractSeventeen patients with patellar retinacular ligament injuries were evaluated with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. MR findings were correlated with clinical, surgical, and arthroscopic findings. The injuries involved the medial retinacular ligament in 16 of 17 patients and the medial and lateral retinacular ligament in one patient.

Treating canine patellar ligament rupture

Veterinary Record, 2014
STIFLE extension relies on the quadriceps mechanism, which comprises the quadriceps muscles, the patella and the patellar ligament. Rupture of the patellar ligament (RPL) results in a failure of stifle extension and an inability to fix the stifle during weightbearing. RPL is an uncommon condition.

Avulsion of the patellar ligament in osteopenic laying fowl

Veterinary Record, 1988
Metabolic bone disease in laying fowl has been associated with mortality and decreases in egg production. Recently there appears to have been an increasing incidence of the disease and the affected flocks have shown a variable response to dietary treatments. In 14 birds from eight recent submissions, avulsion of the patellar ligament together with part

Partial rupture of the patellar ligament

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1991
Partial rupture of the patellar ligament, also known as jumper's knee, is defined as a repetitive overload lesion at the bone-ligament junction at the lower patellar pole. It is found mainly in athletes and is caused either by microruptures or partial macroruptures of the proximal part of the ligament.
