Persisting side-to-side differences in bone mineral content, but not in muscle strength and tendon stiffness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [PDF]
, 2010 Tendon stiffness may be involved in limiting peak musculoskeletal forces and thus may constitute an upper limit for bone strength. The patellar tendon bone (PTB) graft, which is harvested from the patellar tendon during surgical reconstruction of the ...

Improved healing of rabbit patellar tendon defects after an atelocollagen injection
, 2021 Patellar tendinopathy is a common cause of limitations in daily life activities in young and/or active people. The patellar tendon consists of a complex of collagen fibers; therefore, collagen could be used as a scaffold in the treatment of patellar ...

Endoscopic Resection of Gouty Tophus of the Patellar Tendon
Arthroscopy Techniques, 2015 Tophaceous deposition of tendon can result in spontaneous patellar tendon rupture. Surgical therapy may be needed to control symptoms and prevent tendon rupture.
