Operative treatment of quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures with transosseous bone tunnels remains the gold standard, but potential benefits exist with the use of suture anchor fixation for these injuries. Such benefits include stronger biomechanical fixation, reduced soft-tissue disruption, smaller incision, reduced postoperative pain, shorter operative time, lower knot burden, lack of prepatellar bursa scarring, and avoidance of some transosseous repair risks. In this investigation, we present the reproducible technique and outcomes of using suture anchors for repair of quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures.

All-Soft-Tissue Medial Patellofemoral Complex Reconstruction for Revisions and Skeletally Immature Knees.

The medial patellofemoral complex provides the primary static restraint to lateral patellar translation and is composed of the medial patellofemoral ligament and medial quadriceps tendon femoral ligament. Multiple techniques including medial patellofemoral ligament and/or medial quadriceps tendon femoral ligament reconstruction have demonstrated good results; however, modification of the femoral fixation technique is required for skeletally immature patients or revision cases in which anatomic bony fixation on the femur is not possible. This technique describes an all-soft-tissue procedure for single-bundle medial patellofemoral complex reconstruction in which the graft is fixed on the adductor tendon while using the medial collateral ligament as a distalizing pulley, for anatomic and isometric recreation of the native ligament.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of internal heat acupuncture therapy for knee osteoarthritis of early to middle stages, and explore its influence on cartilage thickness.
Methods: A total of 44 patients with knee osteoarthritis of early to middle stages were treated with internal heat acupuncture therapy at points (most of them are located at the subpatellar fat pad, both sides of the patellar ligament, the tendon of the quadriceps and the attachment of the medial and lateral collateral ligaments), once a week, a total of 4 weeks of treatment. Before and after treatment, after 3 months of treatment completion (in the follow-up), the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) score, frequency of 30-second chair stand test (30sCST), cartilage thickness of femoral intercondylar and knee joint ultrasound score were compared, and the clinical effect was evaluated.
Drop Vertical Jump Landing Mechanics Are Similar Between Patients With Quadriceps Tendon and Patellar Tendon Autografts After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Purpose: To compare the biomechanics of a drop vertical jump (DVJ) landing task and functional outcomes among patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon (QT) and patellar tendon (PT) autografts.
Methods: Physically active patients who underwent primary ACLR with either a QT or PT autograft were included in this study. All were within 6 months to 2 years after surgery and cleared for return to physical activity.

Introduction: This study hypothesized that changes in the elasticity of the quadriceps and patellar tendons before and after the diagnosis of patellar tendinopathy would correlate with the range of motion (ROM) following conservative treatment. We aimed to prospectively assess post-treatment ROM using multinomial logistic regression, incorporating elasticity measurements obtained via shear wave elastography (SWE).
Materials And Methods: From March 2023 to April 2024, 95 patients (86 men; aged 20-45 years, mean 25.
