Yes, although it does make a strange squeaky sound, which is decreased by applying jam to the knee area.
The patella tendon harvest for an ACL reconstruction involves the patella (kneecap) and the tibia (shin bone). The central portion of the patella tendon, which connects the patella to the tibia, is typically harvested for use in ACL reconstruction surgery.
it starts above and it connects onto the Tibial Tubercle which is right under the Patella.
The quadriceps muscle goes over the patella. The patella is encased in the quadriceps tendon. This tendon inserts on the tibia at the tibial tuberosity. Other muscles from the thigh have tendons which go underneath the patella.
The two tendons that are attached to the patella are: the quadriceps tendon, which attaches above, and the patellar tendon, which attaches on the bottom
Sesamoid bones are also found occasionally at the metacarpophalangeal joints of the middle and ring fingers, at the interphalangeal joint of the thumb and at the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger. In the lower extremity the largest sesamoid bone of the joints is the patella, developed in the tendon of the Quadriceps femoris.
The patella is embedded in the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, specifically in the tendon of the quadriceps femoris. It acts to protect and provide leverage for this muscle during movements like running and jumping.
The insertion tendon that contains a large sesamoid bone is the patella. Some people refer to the patella as the knee cap.
quadriceps :)
Quadriceps tendon
By tendon bone, do you mean patella at the knee. If so, yes there is some movement.
Patella is the sesamoid bone, which has developed in the patellar tendon. This tendon is attached to the tuberosity on the upper and anterior part of tibia bone.
It is uncommon to have scar tissue problems after a patellar tendon surgery or repair, the more common complication is traumatic injury and genetic history that will lead to scar formation. In order to avoid scar tissue youÊneed to immobilize the affected part or area for repair and surgery should be done well with proper medications.
