Double‐Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Free Rectus Femoris Autograft

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract The rectus femoris tendon autograft represents a relatively new graft option, primarily used in anterior cruciate ligament revision surgery. In this technical note, we describe a technique for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using a double‐bundle rectus femoris autograft.

Alternative Methods of Determining Hamstrings-to-Quadriceps Ratios: a Comprehensive Review

Sports Medicine - Open, 2019
The hamstrings-to-quadriceps muscle strength ratio calculated by peak torque has been used as an important tool to detect muscle imbalance, monitor knee joint stability, describe muscle strength properties and functionality, and for lower extremity ...

Testing muscle tone and mechanical properties of rectus femoris and biceps femoris using a novel hand held MyotonPRO device: relative ratios and reliability

, 2012
Purpose: To use a novel, non-invasive hand held device (MyotonPRO) to quantify ratios of relative non-neural tone and mechanical properties of the rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF) muscles, and to assess reliability of a novice user.Relevance ...

Medial Patellar Retinaculum Cable Replacement of Medial Quadriceps Tendon‐Femoral Ligament Combined With Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction in Treatment of Recurrent Patellar Dislocation

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a mainstream surgical approach for treating recurrent patellar dislocation. In recent years, double‐bundle reconstruction, for example, combined reconstruction of MPFL and the medial quadriceps tendon‐femoral ligament, has been applied and shown favorable outcomes in the treatment of ...

All‐Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Semitendinosus Autograft Augmented With Biocomposite Scaffold: A Technical Note

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the all‐inside technique offers bone preservation and minimal invasiveness. However, single hamstring tendon autografts with a diameter below 8 mm carry increased failure risk. BioBrace (ConMed), a biocomposite scaffold of bioresorbable poly(L‐lactide) microfilaments and type I collagen, provides

Arthroscopic Continuous Anterior Cruciate Ligament‐Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Rectus Femoris Autograft With Posterior Oblique Ligament Reconstruction: A Technical Note

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Multiligament knee injuries are challenging to manage and often require harvesting multiple grafts. Rectus femoris tendon autograft provides predictable length and diameter, making it a promising option for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and combined procedures. In this technical note, we describe an arthroscopic technique for
