The clinical examination was in normal range and the conventional radiography releaved mild osteoarthritis. The patient was refered to our departement for ultrasound examination of the knee joint. Ultrasonography (fig 1) showed a small hypoechoic, discrete heterogeneous lesion, well definded, with acoustic amplification located in the left quadriceps tendon. The color and power Doppler ultrasound revealed a hypervascular tumor. Sonoelastography revealed an elastic lesion. There was no other significant changes at ultrasound examination.

Impaired modulation of quadriceps tendon jerk reflex during spastic gait: differences between spinal and cerebral lesions.
In healthy subjects, functionally appropriate modulation of short latency leg muscle reflexes occurs during gait. This modulation has been ascribed, in part, to changes in presynaptic inhibition of Ia afferents. The changes in modulation of quadriceps tendon jerk reflexes during gait of healthy subjects were compared with those of hemi- or paraparetic spastic patients. The spasticity was due to...
متن کاملSynthetic Mesh Augmentation of Acute and Subacute Quadriceps Tendon Repair.
Quadriceps tendon rupture is an uncommon injury. To date, surgical results have been less than favorable. A novel repair technique that uses Marlex mesh (C R Bard, Murray Hill, New Jersey) has been developed. Use of this repair may allow earlier range of motion and functional restoration of extension. The authors sought to evaluate the technical feasibility, durability, and postoperative functi...

متن کاملAutologous hamstring tendon used for revision of quadiceps tendon tears.
A paucity of literature exists on quadriceps tendon reruptures. Failed quadriceps tendon repair can cause significant morbidity and disability. Surgical management of quadriceps tendon rerupture can be challenging due to tissue degeneration, tendon retraction, muscle atrophy, and poor bone fixation. A lack of guidance in the literature exists on the appropriate surgical techniques for managing ...
