This preliminary analysis reveals some interesting trends, such as the thickness of the PT is greatest at the insertion and origin, while thinner at mid-tendon, with the insertion the thicker of the two. Age was not correlated with PT size, but distal PT CSA was larger with ta...
The patellar tendon is tender upon palpation, and pain is elicited with resisted knee extension.Chronic inflammationcan increase the risk oftendon ruptureat its insertion to the patella. If diagnosed within the first 3 weeks, rest, ice, andNSAIDsfor pain are the recommended therapeutic interventions...
The patellar tendon, which is also known as the patellar ligament, originates at the superior pole of the patella and is comprised of fibers from the quadriceps tendon, which pass over the top of and on each side of the patella to ultimately insert on the tibial tuberosity (see Fig. 5.7...

D is the length of the patellar tendon measured along its posterior surface or the depth from its origin at the lower pole of the patella to its insertion in the tibial tubercle; E is the greatest diagonal length of the patella; F is the distance from the lower edge of the joint surface...
The mean lengths of the ACL and the patellar tendon were 38.2 mm and 52.6 mm, respectively. The mean distance between the femoral ACL origin and the tibial insertion of the patellar tendon was 71.8 mm. These results demonstrate that a distally based patellar tendon autograft alone (with the ...
Most surgical techniques aim to provide one or more of the following: relieve the stress at the tendons insertion by a release of the common extensor origin [19, 33]; removal of the degenerative tis...
The MPTL patellar insertion is at inferomedial border of patella and tibial insertion is in the anteromedial tibia. The MPML originates in the inferomedial patella, right proximal to the MPTL, inserting in the medial meniscus. On the basis of anatomy and biomechanical studies, the MPTL and...
Type 1 occurs when the rupture is at the origin of the patella's inferior pole, Type 2 occurs when there is a midsubstance tear and Type 3 is when the rupture is at the insertion point of the patellar tendon to the tibial tubercle [5]. Typically, spontaneous tendon rupture occurs at it...
Desinsertion is performed by planes up to the peritendon of the patellar ligament. Download: Download full-size image Figure 4. Diagrammatic view of post-fixation of the medial structures, showing the site between the epicondyle and the adductor tubercles. A tunnel was then drilled using a ...
