Human patellar-tendon rupture.

TL;DR: The first biomechanical analysis of a human patellar-tendon rupture during actual sports competition is reported, providing evidence that the range of maximum tensile stress of the tendon may be considerably greater during rapid dynamic loading conditions, as in many sports situations, than maximum Tensile stress obtained during static test conditions.

Abstract: The first biomechanical analysis of a human patellar-tendon rupture during actual sports competition is reported. Cinematographic data for analysis were collected at a national weight-lifting championship. Dynamic equations to mathematically model the lifter were developed to compute time course and magnitudes of hip, knee and ankle-joint moments of force and of tensile loading of the patellar tendon before and during tendon trauma. Results provided evidence that the range of maximum tensile stress of the tendon may be considerably greater during rapid dynamic loading conditions, as in many sports situations, than maximum tensile stress obtained during static test conditions.

Tendon injury and tendinopathy: healing and repair.
Pankaj Sharma,Nicola Maffulli +1 more
TL;DR: There is limited and mixed high-level evidence to support the, albeit common, clinical use of these modalities and further research and scientific evaluation are required before biological solutions become realistic options.

Histopathology of common tendinopathies. Update and implications for clinical management.
TL;DR: The histopathological findings in athletes with overuse tendinopathies are consistent with those in tendinosis — a degenerative condition of unknown aetiology, which may have implications for the prognosis and timing of a return to sport after experiencing tendon symptoms.

TL;DR: The identification of those athletes at increased risk may be a salient first step before designing and implementing specific pre-season and in-season training programs aimed to modify the identified risk factors and to decrease ACL injury rates.

Biology of tendon injury: healing, modeling and remodeling
P. Sharma,Nicola Maffulli +1 more
TL;DR: The structure of tendons is described, the process of tendon healing is an indivisible process that can be categorized into three overlapping phases for descriptive purposes, and the pathophysiology of tendon injury and healing is reviewed.

Patellar tendinopathy: some aspects of basic science and clinical management.
TL;DR: Surgical treatment for Achilles tendinopathy usually involves removal of adhesions and degenerated areas and decompression of the tendon by tenotomy or measures that influence the local circulation.
