“…It is especially useful for preoperative details, as it allows better visualization of the anatomic details and the soft tissue, together with the rupture size and correct location. 6,[22][23][24] High-frequency ultrasound transducers are necessary because of the superficial locations of the tendons. Recently, high-frequency transducers with optimal spatial and contrast resolution that can increase to 15 to 17 MHz and are dedicated to musculoskeletal examinations have been developed.…”

Objectives This study aimed to compare sonoelastographic findings for the quadriceps tendon in patients with chronic renal failure who were in a dialysis program to findings in a control group. Methods Fifty‐three randomly allocated patients (mean age, 54.3 years; range, 27–86 years) with chronic renal failure who were in a dialysis program 3 days a week between January and May 2012 were included. The measurements were performed in both knees of 53 patients undergoing dialysis and 25 individuals in the control group. The tendons were classified as follows: type 1, very stiff tissue (blue); type 2, stiff tissue (blue‐green); and type 3, intermediate tissue (green‐yellow) according to color mapping. Results The mean quadriceps tendon thicknesses in the patient group were 4.9 mm (range, 1.9–6.5 mm) for the right knee and 4.9 mm (1.4–6.5 mm) for the left knee; the values in the control group were 5.4 mm (3.6–7.0 mm) for the right knee and 5.4 mm (3.4–7.0 mm) for the left knee. The mean elasticity scores in the patient group were 3.14 (1.03–5.23) for the right knee and 3.33 (1.29–5.00) for the left knee; in the control group, the values were 3.79 (1.73–5.23) and 3.69 (1.23–5.53) for the right and left knees, respectively (right knee, P = .025; left knee, P = .018; Mann‐Whitney U test). The quadriceps tendons were significantly thinner in the patient group (right knee, P = .054; left knee, P = .015; Mann‐Whitney U test). Conclusions Quadriceps tendons in patients with chronic renal failure are thinner and have lower elasticity scores compared to controls.

Quadriceps tendon rupture is an uncommon injury. In the majority of cases, predispositions as recurrent microtrauma or degenerative changes are present. The diagnosis of acute quadriceps tendon ruptures can usually be made by clinical examination. Ultrasonography has been shown as a reliable, inexpensive and easily available diagnostic tool to confirm the diagnosis. In this study, we evaluated the clinical value of ultrasonography for establishing diagnosis of old quadriceps tendon ruptures. In the prospective time period of 6 years (01/1998-12/2003), the delayed diagnosis of quadriceps tendon rupture was established in six patients with seven cases of old ruptures (one bilateral rupture). The mean age was 50.2 (SD+/-16.9) years in one woman and five men. The mean interval from trauma until diagnosis was 15.2 (SD+/-7.1; range 8-24) weeks. In all cases, ultrasonography represented a reliable and sensitive tool for establishing diagnosis of old quadriceps tendon rupture. We therefore recommend the use of ultrasonography in the diagnostic work up of cases with knee trauma and potential involvement of tendon injuries.

“…Plain X-ray, ultrasound and MRI are useful diagnostic tools which can help the clinician to establish the diagnosis (8). MRI is the most accurate method in diagnosing tendon ruptures and is particularly useful for preoperative planning because it allows better visualization of soft-tissues and anatomical details (9). Early surgical intervention is associated with optimal function.…”
