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 ...

OBJECTIVES Determining the rate of specific adverse events after volar plating performed for distal radius fractures. DESIGN Retrospective. SETTING University level I trauma center. PATIENTS We searched the electronic database of all surgical procedures performed in our department using the following keywords: distal radius fracture, wrist fracture, and plate fixation. We identified 315 p...

During the period 1973-1986, 116 patients with rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon were operated upon. The lesions were categorised into three anatomical levels: proximal, intermediate and distal. Direct suture was performed for acute lesions; later reconstructive procedures were by means of tendon transfers or free tendon grafts.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature regarding use hamstring tendon (HT) autograft for extensor hallucis longus (EHL) reconstruction. Methods: A systematic search studies addressing HT reconstruction nonrepairable EHL injuries performed in December 2021. databases searched include Embase, Medline, Europe PMC, Cochrane, and Scopus. Predetermined inclus...

Purpose: To investigate the long-term functional and clinical outcomes of a tendon transfer to restore extension of the thumb using extensor carpi radialis brevis Methods and materials: From Jun 2005 to Sep 2012, 8 patients with rupture or division of extensor pollicis longus (6 males, 2 females; aged 16-52 years, mean age 30 years) underwent a tendon transfer using the extensor carpi radialis ...

OBJECTIVE To detail the progress of a young female amateur golfer who developed chronic left arm pain while playing golf 8 months prior to her first treatment visit. CLINICAL FEATURES Findings included pain slightly distal to the lateral epicondyle of the elbow, decreased grip strength, and positive orthopedic testing. Diagnostic ultrasound showed thickening of the common extensor tendon orig...

Macrotraumatic extensor mechanism complications do occur after central third patellar tendon harvest for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and include intraor postoperative patella fracture and patellar tendon rupture. These are significant complications that often require additional surgery. Intraoperative precision when harvesting the patellar tendon, bone grafting the donor sit...

Complications involving the knee extensor mechanism and patellofemoral joint occur in 1% to 12% of patients following total knee arthroplasty and have major negative effects on patient outcomes and satisfaction. The surgeon must be aware of intraoperative, postoperative, and patient-related factors that can increase the rate of these problems. This review focuses on six of the most commonly enc...

background clinical tendon injuries represent serious and unresolved issues of the case on how the injured tendons could be improved based on natural structure and mechanical strength. the aim of this studies the effect of aquatic activities and alogenic platelet rich plasma (prp) injection in healing achilles tendons of rats. methods forty rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups. sevent...

Surgical correction of drop-foot in leprosy appears to have been neglected until Brand (1955) pointed out that anterior transposition of the tibialis posterior tendon to the intermediate cuneiform bone gave encouraging results. Since then there have been a number of reports of the use of this operation with or without modifications. Gunn and Molesworth (1957) reported fifty-six cases of drop-fo...
