The patellar apex was 39±6% of the width of the tendon from its medial edge. The bulk of tendon was attached to the distal two-thirds of the anterior aspect of the patella. In six cases tendon fibres originated from the posterior surface of the apex of the patella, forming a ridge on...
What do tendons do in the skeletal system? What type of tissue forms tendons? What muscles are attached to the patella? What hallux valgus surgery includes a tendon transplant? What is the sacrum connected to? What is the difference between ligaments and tendons?
Virtual operations were conducted to simulate the two procedures. For distalization, the tibial tubercle and patella were displaced distally 4 mm to 20 mm in 4-mm increments based on the original model. At each level of distalization, the patella tendon was attached back to its original ...

, range 19-32 years) were complemented by a cryosectional analysis: each QT-B complex was composed of the segment of the quadriceps tendon with the proximal half of the patella attached, each B-PL complex was composed of the distal half of the patella with the patellar ligament attached. ...
The iliac bone was fixed to the tibial bony trough with absorbable screws, and the fascia lata was fashioned into three branches: the central branch was folded through the tunnel in the patella, and the medial and lateral branches were tagged to the medial and lateral retinaculum, respectively,...
Deep tendon reflexes are one of the main components of the clinical nervous system examinations. These assessments are inexpensive and quick. However, evaluation can be subjective and qualitative. This study aimed to objectively evaluate hyperreflexia of

The patellar ligament is an extension of the extensor mechanism of the stifle below the apex of the patella and inserts distally on the tibial tuberosity. The quadriceps tendon represents the common tendon insertion of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius mu...
