Disease relevance of Patellar Ligament

• Tendinitis of the patellar ligament and quadriceps (jumper's knee) as an initial presentation of hyperparathyroidism. A case report [1].

High impact information on Patellar Ligament

• Biomechanical consequences of replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament with a patellar ligament allograft. Part I: insertion of the graft and anterior-posterior testing [2].
• There was no constitutive or inducible production of nitrite by explants or cells derived from the synovial tissue or shoulder capsule of a human or by explants or cells derived from canine anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, medial collateral, lateral collateral, or patellar ligaments [3].
• In the present study, osteoligament (OL) cells derived from the patellar ligament were subjected to diverse forms of stress that included (a) exposure to sodium arsenite, (b) heat shock, (c) cadmium ion, and (d) the amino acid analog, AZC [4].
• Ultrasonographic and histologic evaluation of medial and middle patellar ligaments in exercised horses following injection with ethanolamine oleate and 2% iodine in almond oil [5].
• The plane of resection was defined in the coronal plane by three distinct anatomic landmarks on the undersurface of the patella: the medial and lateral edges of the quadriceps tendon insertion and the lateral edge of the patellar ligament insertion [6].

Associations of Patellar Ligament with chemical compounds

• Ligamentum patellae rupture following local steroid injection [7].
• During the stance phase, high forces are detectable only in the patellar ligament and middle-high forces in the m. flexor digitalis profundus [8].
