Quadriceps Tendon Rupture - Knee Sports - Orthobullets A quadriceps tendon rupture is a traumatic injury of the quadriceps insertion on the patella leading to a disruption in the knee extensor mechanism Diagnosis is made clinically with a palpable defect 2 cm proximal to the superior pole of the patella with inability to perform a straight leg raise and presence of patella baja on knee radiographs
Quadriceps Tendon Rupture Repair - Approaches - Orthobullets The incision will need to allow access to the injured quadriceps tendon and the inferior pole of the patella A tourniquet may be inflated prior to incision One single incision can be made extending from the inferior pole of the patella to the ruptured portion of the quadriceps tendon
Acute Quadriceps Tendon Rupture: Presentation, Diagnosis . . . - Orthobullets Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold-standard test for diagnosing quadriceps tendon ruptures, with a reported sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of 1 0 Complete tears require prompt surgical intervention; the most common technique is transosseous sutures passed through longitudinal patellar drill holes
Quadriceps Tendon Rupture - Core EM For suspected quadriceps tendon rupture, knee X-rays should be obtained to evaluate for patellar fracture Non-emergent MRI may be needed to differentiate between complete and partial tendon tears Read More: Orthobullets: Quadriceps Tendon Rupture Wheeless’ Textbook of Orthopaedics: Rupture of the Quadriceps References
Outcomes following repair of quadriceps tendon ruptures. - Orthobullets The purpose of this study was to examine critically the outcomes of patients sustaining a quadriceps tendon rupture and to compare outcomes in patients with bilateral simultaneous ruptures versus a unilateral rupture
Rupture of the Quadriceps - Wheeless Textbook of Orthopaedics - Transpatellar refixation of acute quadriceps tendon ruptures close to the proximal patella pole using FiberWire - A method of repair for quadriceps tendon or patellar ligament (tendon) ruptures without cast immobilization
Complex ruptures of the quadriceps tendon: a systematic . . . - Orthobullets Chronic ruptures, ruptures following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and re-ruptures of the quadriceps tendon (QT) are rare A systematic review of the current literature was conducted on their treatment and outcome to provide evidence-based indications for their management
Patellar and quadriceps tendons acute repair with suture . . . - Orthobullets Summary Background and aim of the work: Quadriceps and patellar tendon rupture are relatively uncommon but can result in a disabling condition if untreated We retrospectively review all our cases treated with suture anchors from 2014 to 2018, to evaluate midterm outcome of this technique
Clinical outcomes after repair of quadriceps tendon rupture: a . . . The existing evidence regarding the management of quadriceps tendon rupture remains obscure The aim of the current review is to investigate the characteristics, the different techniques employed and to analyse the clinical outcomes following surgical repair of quadriceps tendon rupture
