[Neglected ipsilateral simultaneous ruptures of patellar and quadriceps tendon].

Neglected patellar and quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare injury, but ipsilateral simultaneous patellar and quadriceps tendon rupture was not described in the literature to our knowledge. In this article, we report a 40-year-old healthy male patient with neglected ipsilateral patellar and quadriceps tendon ruptures treated by peroneus longus tendon autograft. Patient had received some conservative and surgical treatments for patellar fracture before applying to our clinic.

[Biomechanical examination of patellar tendon ruptures repaired with a tendon graft: an experimental study].

Objectives: This study aims to perform an experimental examination of the patellar tendon grafts repaired using an interference screw and free tendon graft.

Material And Methods: Twelve knees of the lower limbs which were amputated due to circulatory disease were included in this study. The knees were removed from all soft tissues including patellar tendons.

Treatment of capitellar osteochondritis dissecans with a tendon graft: a case report.

A 14-year-old girl who was engaged in farming was admitted with the complaints of right elbow pain and limited range of motion in the elbow joint. Plain radiograph revealed capitellar osteochondritis dissecans. After the loose fragment was removed from the capitellum and the defect was curetted, a palmaris longus tendon graft harvested from the same hand was implanted into the capitellar defect.
