Revision Patellar Tendon Repair With Anchors, Allograft Augmentation, and Suspensory Fixation
Ruptures of the patellar tendon are rare but potentially devastating injuries reported to occur most commonly in active males in their third and fourth decades of life. Repair failure rates have been reported to range between 2% and 50% based on surgical

Specimen dimensions influence the measurement of material properties in tendon fascicles [PDF]
Stress, strain and modulus are regularly used to characterize material properties of tissue samples. However, when comparing results from different studies it is evident the reported material properties, particularly failure strains, vary hugely. The aim

Abstract Purpose High‐grade femoral trochlear dysplasia is associated with anterior knee pain, patellar maltracking, instability and the development of osteoarthritis. Scientific studies have signified the importance of trochlear resection on the knee extensor mechanism, and dysplasia can be addressed by a groove‐deepening trochleoplasty. Alternatively,

Transosseous-Equivalent Repair for Distal Patellar Tendon Avulsion
Extensor mechanism disruptions are relatively uncommon injuries involving injury to the quadriceps tendon, patella, or patellar tendon. Patellar tendon avulsions from the tibial tubercle in adults are rare; as such, little technical information has been ...

Patellar Tendon–Trochlear Groove Angle Measurement
Background: The tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) is used as the gold standard for patellofemoral malalignment. Purpose: To assess 3 patellar tendon–trochlear groove (PT-TG) angle measurement techniques and the PT-TG distance measurement ...

Abstract Purpose To biomechanically evaluate a flat posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction utilizing rectangular femoral bone tunnels. Methods Eight fresh‐frozen human knee specimens were tested in a six‐degrees‐of‐freedom robotic test setup. In each testing step, a force‐controlled test protocol was performed, including 89 N posterior tibial

Patellar Tendon Lengthening: Rescue Procedure for Patella Baja
Patella baja is a challenging pathologic condition that causes pain and functional restrictions and can even lead to premature osteoarthritis—even more so in cases of patella infera or cases associated with degeneration of the patellar tendon in which ...
