Habitual loading results in tendon hypertrophy and increased stiffness of the human patellar tendon.
The purpose of this study was to examine patellar tendon (PT) size and mechanical properties in subjects with a side-to-side strength difference of > or =15% due to sport-induced loading. Seven elite fencers and badminton players were included. Cross-sectional area (CSA) of the PT obtained from MRI and ultrasonography-based measurement of tibial and patellar movement together with PT force duri...
متن کاملggstThe role of tendon microcirculation in Achilles and patellar tendinopathy
Tendinopathy is of distinct interest as it describes a painful tendon disease with local tenderness, swelling and pain associated with sonographic features such as hypoechogenic texture and diameter enlargement. Recent research elucidated microcirculatory changes in tendinopathy using laser Doppler flowmetry and spectrophotometry such as at the Achilles tendon, the patellar tendon as well as at...
متن کاملAtraumatic patellar prosthesis dislocation with patellar tendon injury following a total knee arthroplasty: a case report
INTRODUCTION Total knee arthroplasty is a well-established procedure with gratifying results. There is no consensus in the literature whether to routinely resurface the patella while performing total knee arthroplasty or not. Although an extremely rare occurrence in clinical practice, patellar prosthesis dislocation is a possible complication resulting from total knee arthroplasty. CASE PRESE...
متن کاملPatellar tendon ruptures.
BACKGROUND Isolated rupture of the patellar tendon is a rare injury. Often occurring during a fall in 20- and 30-year olds, patients may have a preexisting medical condition (eg, history of steroid use) or a history of repetitive microtrauma to the knee. A high-riding patella on physical examination and radiographs is pathognomonic. METHODS Immediate orthopaedic referral for surgical repair i...
متن کاملBilateral patellar tendon rupture.
A 58-year -old man with a past history of acquired emphysema was admitted after his legs 'gave way' as he walked down a short flight of steps. He was unable to extend either knee actively. Bilateral patellar tendon ruptures were diagnosed clinically from the history, and the finding of swelling and a palpable gap below the lower pole of each patella. The diagnosis was confirmed radiologically (...
