Abstract Aim The primary aim of this study is to determine whether there a change in patellar height after closure the tendon defect bone-patellar tendon-bone graft harvesting. secondary evaluate clinical and functional outcomes. Method A retrospective observational was conducted. Patients who were diagnosed with ACL injury underwent reconstruction using B-p-T-B technique from 2015 2020 include...

reconstruction by means of bone-patellar-bone (BTB) autografting is an increasingly popular procedure for the stabillization of ACL-deficient knee (1, 2). The central one-third of the patellar tendon and bony plugs are excised together to increase strength, durability and elasticity (3, 4) and the donor site is allowed to heal by primary intensification. The outcome of ACL reconstruction, using...

Following injury, ligaments and tendons do not regain their normal biological and biomechanical status. This study analyzed whether an injection of human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) or human fibroblast in a liquid fibrin matrix influences the histological results, ultrastructural morphology, mRNA expression of essential extracellular matrix proteins, and material properties of the healing ...

BACKGROUND Patellar and hamstring tendon autografts are the most frequently used graft types for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, but few direct comparisons of outcomes have been published. HYPOTHESIS There is no difference in outcome between the two types of reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Prospective randomized clinical trial. METHODS After isolated anterior cruciate ligament rup...

Patellar tendon width and length are commonly used for preoperative planning for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). In the study reported here, we assessed the accuracy of preoperative measurements made by palpation through the skin, and correlated these measurements with the actual dimensions of the tendons at surgery. Before making incisions in 53 patients undergoing ACLR with ...

BACKGROUND Tendon-bone healing following rotator cuff repairs is mainly impaired by poor tissue quality. Demineralised bone matrix promotes healing of the tendon-bone interface but its role in the treatment of tendon tears with retraction has not been investigated. We hypothesized that cortical demineralised bone matrix used with minimally manipulated mesenchymal stem cells will result in impro...

PURPOSE Patellar tendon and hamstrings are both used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, and comparisons have been reported with different results. The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the results of ACL reconstruction in athletes with 2 different graft types, both using bone-to-bone healing: bone-patellar tendon-bone graft and a quadrupled bone-semitendinosus graft...

PURPOSE The goal of the present study was to compare the patellar tendon cross-sectional area with the patellar tendon thickness and to determine the intra-observer compliance level in the cross-sectional area and thickness measurements. This comparison was used to describe the effects of playing volleyball on the patellar tendon. MATERIALS AND METHODS The patellar tendons of 60 volleyball pl...

Objective: To assess the mean Lysholm score after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft.
 Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study.
 Place and Duration of Study: Department Orthopaedic, Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan, from Oct 2020 to Apr 2021.
 Methodology: Arthroscopic gr...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a correlation exists between patient height and soft-tissue patellar tendon length. METHODS Magnetic resonance imaging (1.5 T) was performed for knee pathology on 403 patients. The patellar tendon length was measured in the midsagittal plane by a board-certified musculoskeletal radiologist. Patient height was recorded to the nearest in...
