Abstract
Tendinous extensor mechanism injuries of the knee (i.e., quadriceps and patellar tendon injuries) have become more common in aging athletes as the general population continues to remain active. Structural changes within the quadriceps and patellar tendons can occur with aging, as well as with certain medical comorbidities and medications. There is currently a lack of published data on return to sport after knee extensor mechanism injury in the aging population. Return to some level of sport after tendinous knee extensor mechanism injuries in the aging athlete is possible in the majority of patients, with similar rates of return to sport after quadriceps and patellar tendon injuries.
期刊介绍：
Operative Techniques in Sports Medicine combines the authority of a textbook, the usefulness of a color atlas and the timeliness of a journal. Each issue focuses on a single clinical condition, offering several different management approaches. It''s the easiest way for practitioners to stay informed of the latest surgical advancements and developments.
