Rectus Femoris Tendon Calcification
Background: Since it was developed, hip arthroscopy has become the favored treatment for femoroacetabular impingement. Due to recent considerable improvements, the indications for this technique have been widely extended. Injuries of the rectus femoris tendon origin, after an acute phase, could result in a chronic tendinopathy with calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition, leading to pain and ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional muscle-tendon geometry after rectus femoris tendon transfer.
BACKGROUND Rectus femoris tendon transfer is performed in patients with cerebral palsy to improve knee flexion during walking. This procedure involves detachment of the muscle from its insertion into the quadriceps tendon and reattachment to one of the knee flexor muscles. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the muscle-tendon geometry and to assess the formation of scar tissue betw...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Muscle-Tendon Geometry after Rectus Femoris Transfer
Introduction Rectus femoris transfer surgery is performed to improve knee flexion in persons with cerebral palsy who walk with a stiff-knee gait (Gage et al., 1987; Perry, 1987). In this surgery, the rectus femoris muscle is separated from the quadriceps tendon, tunneled through the subcutaneous tissue on the medial aspect of the thigh and sutured to one of the knee flexors – such as sartorius ...
متن کامل[Distal rectus femoris tendon transfer in cerebral palsy patients].
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Cerebral palsy is a serious world-wide problem; its incidence ranges from one to five per thousand of live-born children and is much influenced by gestation age and birth weight. In orthopaedic treatment of lower extremity motor disorders, one of the options for contracture or deformity elimination and for stiff leg gait improvement is rectus femoris tendon transfer. The ai...
متن کاملProximal rectus femoris lengthening.
There are two main problems with muscle tendon lengthening: thinness created by the technical procedure weakens the tendon, and in short tendons, lengthening may not provide enough length for the amount of joint motion required. In proximal rectus femoris lengthening, the distal ends of the reflected and straight heads are sutured together. Using this technique, the tendon will not be thinned, ...
