“…Ohkoshi et al [20], in their prospective study of 25 patients, have shown that there were no statistically significant differences between the preharvest and postharvest peak torque values of the donor knee 1 year after harvesting of the semitendinosus tendon. However, some recent studies have shown that the loss of knee flexor strength following the harvest of the hamstring tendons may be more significant than had been previously estimated.…”

Introduction Rupture of the patellar tendon after total knee arthroplasty is an infrequent but serious complication. Several methods for treating this catastrophic complication have been described. The purpose of this article was to evaluate the results of semitendinosus graft augmentation with direct repair in the treatment of patellar tendon rupture after total knee arthroplasty. Material and methods From 2012 to 2014, six patients who underwent cemented total knee arthroplasty without patellar resurfacing presented with patellar tendon rupture after operation. Patellar tendon repair and augmentation with autogenous ipsilateral semitendinosus graft was scheduled with preparation of stocks of primary and revision prosthesis. Results All knees required revision either all components or one of the components. Postoperative radiograph confirmed that normal patellar height was with good alignment of all prosthesis components. Patients were followed up for average 1.5 years. No intra-or postoperative complications were recorded. Functionally, scores at final follow-up were excellent in two patients and good in four patients according to Knee Society clinical rating scores. The average active range of motion is from 10 to 135°. All patients could return to their daily activities without pain. Conclusion The right alignment and rotation of the knee prosthesis, together with good surgical technique in a primary operation, are the most important factors to avoid the catastrophic complication of patellar tendon rupture during or after the total knee arthroplasty. However, if patellar tendon rupture does occur, the use of our operative technique and rehabilitation program can bring good functional results.

“…Il est probable, d'une part, que le geste chirurgical et les suites opératoires engendrent une dégénérescence du DT et du gracilis et, d'autre part, que la récupération de force est la conséquence de la compensation des autres fléchis-seurs qui s'hypertrophient. En effet, Ohkoshi et al remarquent, par des tests isocinétiques pratiqués un an après la chirurgie, que le moment de force maximale du côté opéré est plus précoce que du côté sain [45]. Ils ne retrouvent pas d'autre différence et pensent que la compensation provient probablement du biceps crural et du semi-membraneux.…”

“…The peak torque is generated at low knee fl exion angles (15-30°), and at those angles the biceps femoris muscle is the primary knee fl exor [ 25 ]. Both Ohkoshi et al [ 23 ] and Adachi et al [ 1 ] found that the peak torque was generated at shallower angles after ACL reconstruction with ST or ST/G autograft indicating that muscles that are active at lower fl exion angles such as biceps femoris have undergone hypertrophy. Further studies have shown that the semimembranosus and biceps femoris undergo compensatory hypertrophy after harvest of the ST/G or ST alone [ 7 , 14 , 36 ].…”

Studies have shown that the semitendinosus (ST) and gracilis (G) tendons are able to regenerate after harvest, and probably they are the only known tendons in the human body that can regenerate after harvest of the whole tendon from the musculotendinous junction all the way to the insertion. This chapter will focus on the existing knowledge about the ST and G tendon regeneration frequency, quality of the regenerated tendon, level of insertion, cross-sectional area and weakness in fl exion and internal rotation of the knee after harvest. What the Diagnostic Methods Have Shown: The Regeneration Rate and MorphologyIn 1992 Cross et al. [ 6 ] were the fi rst to report that the ST and G tendons could regenerate after examining patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These fi ndings have subsequently been verifi ed using MRI [ 2 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 13 , 18 , 28 , 30 , 33 ]
