Background Extensor mechanism rupture (EMR) of the knee is a rare but potentially
debilitating injury that often occurs due to trauma. While a wide variety of surgical treatments …

Background: The gold standard for patellar tendon repair is a transosseous technique.
Suture anchor repair has gained popularity, with recent biomechanical studies …

Simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare injury that represents< 5% of all
quadriceps tendon ruptures. It is generally associated with chronic metabolic disorders and …

The diagnosis of quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures requires a high index of suspicion
and thorough history-taking to assess for medical comorbidities that may predispose …

Purpose To evaluate the biomechanical fixation strength of suture anchor and transosseous
tunnel repair of the quadriceps tendon in a standardized cadaveric repair model. Methods …

Background: Patellar tendon ruptures have a reported incidence of 0.68 per 100,000 person-
years in the general population. The epidemiology of surgically treated patellar tendon …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the biomechanical
properties of a unicortical button with an interference screw used for subpectoral biceps …

Introduction Acute patellar tendon rupture is easy to diagnose but is still often overlooked.
The aim of this study was to assess early and late results of surgical treatment of acute …

The objective of this study is to compare the cyclic loading strength and ultimate failure load
in suture anchor repair versus transosseous tunnel repair of patellar tendons using a …

Background: Patellar tendon repair with braided polyethylene suture alone is subject to knot
slippage and failure. Several techniques to augment the primary repair have been …
