Reconstruction of a chronic quadriceps tendon tear in a body builder.
TLDR
A body builder taking a cocktail of anabolic drugs for several years in whom reconstruction of a chronic quadriceps tendon tear was performed using ipsilateral hamstring tendons with good results despite the 7 month delay between injury and surgery.Abstract:
Chronic quadriceps tendon tears are uncommon. We report about a body builder taking a cocktail of anabolic drugs for several years in whom reconstruction of a chronic quadriceps tendon tear was performed using ipsilateral hamstring tendons with good results despite the 7 month delay between injury and surgery. The use of hamstring tendons is a good option for the management of these lesions.read more

Adult native knee extensor mechanism ruptures
TL;DR: Almost all types of extensor mechanism ruptures benefit from early management which typically involves surgery, and earlier surgical intervention and rehabilitation tend to produce improved outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
No difference in clinical results between femoral transfixation and bio-interference screw fixation in hamstring tendon ACL reconstruction. A preliminary study.
TL;DR: Femoral Biotransfix fixation and Bio-interference Screws fixation provide comparable mechanical stability and clinical outcome at 13 months follow up and there is no evidence to prefer femoral transfixation to the more traditional, technically less demanding, and more economical interference screw fixation.

Treatments for people who use anabolic androgenic steroids: a scoping review.
TL;DR: There is scarce evidence on treating dependence, managing withdrawal, or initiating behaviour change in users in any settings, and evidence is urgently required to support the development of effective services for users and of evidence-based guidance and interventions to respond to users in a range of healthcare settings.

Reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon tear with allograft in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Venanzio Iacono,Fabrizio Cigala,Fazioli F,D Rosa,Nicola Maffulli,Nicola Maffulli,Nicola Maffulli +6 more
TL;DR: The reconstruction of the patellar tendon with allograft is reported, after failed primary repair, of a 23-year-old young with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Patellar tendon versus doubled semitendinosus and gracilis tendons for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
TL;DR: Semitendinosus and gracilis tendons are preferred in selected cases: older patients, patients with preexisting patellofemoral problems, and those with failed patellar tendon grafts.

Ruptures of the extensor mechanism of the knee joint.
C W Siwek,J P Rao +1 more
TL;DR: When treated without delay, end-to-end suture was found to give a satisfactory repair of the ruptured quadriceps tendons and patellar ligaments, although supplemental external fixation was needed in the latter type of injury.

Patellar and quadriceps tendon ruptures--jumper's knee.
TL;DR: Results indicated patellar tendon ruptures, where the ruptures are complete, have a more favorable prognosis than those of the quadriceps ten don, which are incomplete, and all of the latter patients continued to have Quadriceps tendinitis following repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac arrest during hip arthroplasty with a cemented long-stem component. A report of seven cases.
TL;DR: Hip arthroplasty with a long-stem femoral component is associated with substantial risk in these patients, and excessive pressurization of cement should be avoided, and invasive hemodynamic monitoring should be used when the described conditions are present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete quadriceps tendon ruptures
TL;DR: All surgical methods can be expected to give comparable results as long as treatment is begun within 1 week of the injury, and the ultimate range of motion was within an average of 2 degrees of the uninjured side in nearly all patients.
