Rectus femoris tendon morphometry and practical landmarks for harvesting: A cadaveric study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To perform a qualitative and quantitative cadaveric analysis of the rectus femoris (RF) tendon to determine its suitability as a standalone autograft for knee ligament reconstruction and to identify consistent anatomical landmarks for safe and reproducible harvest.

Intra-articular Interposition of Vastus Medialis Muscle: An Unusual Cause of Irreducible Knee Dislocation

Apollo Medicine
Introduction: Knee dislocations are an uncommon type of dislocation that requires surgical interventions and ligament reconstruction. There are various configurations and classifications of knee dislocation as described in Kennedy system, which is based ...

Hip position and sex differences in motor unit firing patterns of the vastus medialis and vastus medialis oblique in healthy individuals [PDF]

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2018
Weakness of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) has been proposed to explain the high prevalence of knee pain in female subjects. Clinicians commonly use exercises in an attempt to preferentially activate the VMO. Recently, our group found evidence to support clinical theory that the VMO is neurologically distinct from the vastus medialis (VM). However,

Impact of hamstring versus quadriceps tendon graft on thigh muscle strength and surface electromyography activity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare quadriceps tendon (QT) and hamstring tendon (HT) autografts regarding isometric thigh muscle strength, surface electromyography (sEMG) activity and clinical outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

The Effect of Stump Level on Activity and Fatigability of Knee Extensor Muscles

Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2018
Introduction: Muscle fatigue is tiredness, in other words, loss of productive capacity of power in response to the activity. The development of fatigue during prolonged exercise may be evaluated by repeated assessments of maximal voluntary force.

Preoperative and postoperative risk factors for arthrogenic muscle inhibition in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A retrospective study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to identify preoperative and postoperative risk factors associated with the development of arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The hypothesis was that distinct risk factors contribute to the occurrence of preoperative and postoperative AMI ...

Quadriceps malalignment is strongly associated with recurrent patellofemoral instability in native knees

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Patellofemoral instability (PFI) has been associated with multiple anatomical risk factors. The recent development of accurate quadriceps muscle measurements using three‐dimensional imaging techniques have demonstrated that quadriceps alignment is highly variable and frequently leads to a lateralised force vector on the patella.

The Impact of a Single Hip Manipulation on Quadriceps Activity and Performance: A Randomized Study

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Optimal activation of the quadriceps femoris, particularly the vastus medialis, while minimizing excessive activation of the vastus lateralis, is crucial for treating knee injuries like ACL ruptures and patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Biologic gracilis augmentation with iliotibial band enhances recovery and lowers complications in ACL reconstruction compared with hamstring plus lateral tenodesis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the iliotibial band autograft biologically augmented with gracilis (ITBAG) technique with a hamstring tendon autograft combined with extra‐articular lateral tenodesis using fascia lata (HT‐LET), in terms of (1) return‐to‐sport rates, (2) patient‐reported functional outcomes and (3) complication rates.

Muscle fatigue in patients with severe long COVID: A 2‐year follow‐up study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fatigue is recognized as one of the most persistent and debilitating symptoms of long COVID, affecting both functionality and quality of life. However, its long‐term effects, especially beyond the first year after infection, remain poorly understood.
