Résumé
In Professional Athletes, quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures are devastating injuries, often resulting in the loss of a season or a decreased return to the pre-injury level of sport. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive Video Analysis on extensor mechanism rupture (EMR) to describe the body postures and related mechanism in Professional Athletes. Using publicly available data on quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon ruptures from between 2000 and 2020, 52 elite athletes were identified. Of these, twenty-eight injuries with adequate video data were analyzed for Injury Mechanism, body posture, as well as player and sports characteristics. Of the 27 athletes included in the study, with an average age of 28.18 ± 4.96 years, there were injuries in 28 extremities (1 case bilateral). The patellar tendon was ruptured in 20 cases (71.4%), and the quadriceps tendon in 8 cases (28.6%). There was total tendon rupture in 13 cases, and partial rupture in 6 cases (data for 1 case was not available). In 20 cases (70.4%), there was no contact resulting in the injury. Four of the contact injuries occurred in American football (3 direct, one indirect), 3 in basketball (1 direct, two indirect), and 1 in baseball (direct). The results of this research indicate that EMR occurs most commonly when the knee is in flexion and the ankle is in plantar flexion. There is the tendency for the knee to be in valgus at the time of injury. This information can guide physical therapy techniques, including neuromuscular training, proprioception, and balance training in the prevention of EMR in elite athletes.

Background
UNASSIGNED
In Professional Athletes, quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures are devastating injuries, often resulting in the loss of a season or a decreased return to the pre-injury level of sport. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive Video Analysis on extensor mechanism rupture (EMR) to describe the body postures and related mechanism in Professional Athletes.
Methods
UNASSIGNED
Using publicly available data on quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon ruptures from between 2000 and 2020, 52 elite athletes were identified. Of these, twenty-eight injuries with adequate video data were analyzed for Injury Mechanism, body posture, as well as player and sports characteristics.
Results
UNASSIGNED
Of the 27 athletes included in the study, with an average age of 28.18 ± 4.96 years, there were injuries in 28 extremities (1 case bilateral). The patellar tendon was ruptured in 20 cases (71.4%), and the quadriceps tendon in 8 cases (28.6%). There was total tendon rupture in 13 cases, and partial rupture in 6 cases (data for 1 case was not available). In 20 cases (70.4%), there was no contact resulting in the injury. Four of the contact injuries occurred in American football (3 direct, one indirect), 3 in basketball (1 direct, two indirect), and 1 in baseball (direct).
Conclusion
UNASSIGNED
The results of this research indicate that EMR occurs most commonly when the knee is in flexion and the ankle is in plantar flexion. There is the tendency for the knee to be in valgus at the time of injury. This information can guide physical therapy techniques, including neuromuscular training, proprioception, and balance training in the prevention of EMR in elite athletes.
