Use of the quadriceps tendon usually does not result in the same degree of anterior knee pain postoperatively, and quadriceps tendon harvest produces a reliably thick, robust graft. The quadriceps tendon has approximately 20% greater collagen per cross-sectional area than the patellar tendon, and a greater diameter of usable soft tissue is ...

The characteristic finding of a biceps ...
The Achilles tendon is wider than normal, further suggesting inflammation. Achilles tendinitis is usually diagnosed from a medical history, and physical examination of the tendon.

A bursa lies between the tendon and the upper part of the calcaneus. It is ...
