Estudo epidemiológico das rupturas tendinosas do mecanismo extensor do joelho em um hospital de nível I

Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to review the epidemiological aspects of tendon ruptures of the knee extensor apparatus at a level 1 hospital. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 76 lesions of the knee extensor apparatus that were treated surgically at the Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital between March 2004 and March 2011. We took into consideration age, sex, trauma mechanism, anatomical classification of the lesion, affected side, comorbidities and associated lesions. Results: Among the patie… Show more

“…4 They are most common in males younger than 40 years of age and are usually the result of direct trauma. 1 Zernicke et al 23 estimated that a healthy tendon can withstand up to 17.5 times a subject's body weight before failing; however, other factors may predispose patients to tendon rupture, such as chronic renal failure, rheumatoid arthritis, repetitive microtrauma, lupus erythematous, fluoroquinolone use, or history of steroid use. 16 Patellar tendon ruptures are categorized into 3 types by location of the rupture: inferior pole of the patella, midsubstance, and tibial tuberosity.…”
