Article Synopsis
- - The article reviews the anatomy and histopathology of the patellar tendon, focusing on patellar tendinopathy (PT), a chronic injury common in athletes who perform jumping activities.
- - PT is characterized by degeneration of collagen fibers in the tendon, and its risk factors include involvement in jumping sports, higher jump heights, and training on harder surfaces.
- - Treatment options range from nonoperative methods like rest and exercises to surgical interventions, including extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for patients not improving with conservative care.

Introduction: Optimal fixation method between cemented, cementless, and hybrid techniques for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is still debated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing cemented versus cementless TKA.
Methods: We reviewed 168 patients who underwent a primary TKA at a single academic institution between January 2015 and June 2017.
