The uncrossed-doubled patellar tendon: A novel imaging finding

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports, 2019
A spectrum of anatomic variants of the conventional single patellar tendon have been described however a double patellar tendon is a highly rare finding, which has only been described once before where a cross-over tendon morphology was illustrated.

The vasculature and its role in the damaged and healing tendon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Tendon pathology has many manifestations, from spontaneous rupture to chronic tendinitis or tendinosis; the etiology and pathology of each are very different, and poorly understood. Tendon is a comparatively poorly vascularised tissue that relies heavily

Anatomy, morphology and evolution of the patella in squamate lizards and tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The patella (kneecap) is the largest and best-known of the sesamoid bones, postulated to confer biomechanical advantages including increasing joint leverage and reinforcing the tendon against compression.

A Novel Method for Assessing Regional Tendon Stiffness and Its Significance

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Elastography can be used to estimate the regional shear modulus of a tendon. This can advance our knowledge on the impact of patellar alignment and regional patellar tendon stiffness.

Comparative US-MRI evaluation of the Insall–Salvati index [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose: To investigate whether the universally accepted range of normal patellar height ratio derived from MRI for the Insall–Salvati (IS) method could be similarly applied to ultrasound (US).

Finite-element modelling of mechanobiological factors influencing sesamoid tissue morphology in the patellar tendon of an ostrich [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The appearance and shape of sesamoid bones within a tendon or ligament wrapping around a joint are understood to be influenced by both genetic and epigenetic factors.

Revision Patellar Tendon Repair With Anchors, Allograft Augmentation, and Suspensory Fixation

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2020
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

Sonoelastography in the diagnosis of tendinopathies: An added value [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: sonoelastography helps in the detection of abnormalities not yet evident on B-mode exam. METHODS: in this observational study, we report a collection of cases of symptomatic patients without alterations at ultrasound imaging but with ...

Disruption of a Patellar Tendon Repair [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2012
The patient was a 38-year-old man evaluated by a physical therapist 14 weeks after repair of the left patellar tendon. The physical therapist requested radiographs, which revealed findings consistent with a patellar tendon retear. The radiologist recommended further evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging, which showed a left patellar tendon tear.
