The patella is a triangular shaped sesamoid bone that is embedded in the quadriceps tendon. With its posterior surface, it articulates with the anterior surface of the femur, forming the patellofemoral joint. When examining the patella, it is important to evaluate its contours, bone marrow and ...
MRI is the “gold standard” for the assessment of muscle injuries. This chapter includes a discussion of the structure of muscle and the muscle–tendon junction, the use of MRI and ultrasound for the assessment of muscle injury and the current grading..
Poster 234 Ultrasound Diagnosis of Quadriceps Tendon Tear and Patella Fracture in a Patient with Contraindication to MRI: A Case ReportThe aim of our study was to assess the effect of the frequency of home exercise program (HEP) performance on pain [10-point visual analog scale (VAS)] in ...
Quadriceps graftHamstring graftBackground: The objective of this study is to (1) compare the predicted cross-sectional area and diameter between quadriceps tendon and quadrupled hamstring autografts, and (2) assess the predicted size of the quadriceps tendon graft in patients with hamstrings that are...
Background: Quadriceps tendon autograft (QTA) has recently gained popularity in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures in pediatric patients. The addition of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) to an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) has been found to reduce ...
MRI depicted myo-fasciitis of the surrounding muscles in all cases; a partial tear of the quadriceps tendon was also found in the patient with knee swelling. Overall, symptoms were mild/moderate and responded well to treatment (low dose steroids in 6 and NSAIDs/analgesics in 4) with no ...
The sum of the widths was regarded as the total tendon width. QT was measured in the anterior-posterior plane on a sagittal slice located 25mm proximal to the superior pole of the patella and measured at the mid-point of the tendon (M-L plane) orthogonal to the quadriceps tendon fibers....
Material and methods: This was a prospective multicenter study of 100 ACL grafts (quadriceps tendon, hamstring tendon, fascia lata) in children 7 to 16 years of age. Of these, 65 intact grafts underwent one or more MRI examinations between 6 months and 2 years postoperative. MRI images were...
Quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) is an uncommon injury with an incidence of 1.37 per 100,000 [1]. The mechanism of a rupture can be direct or indirect. The most common cause is a simple fall, but it is also seen because of car accidents or sporting activities. Spontaneous or even bilater...
