Résumé

Though previous studies on surgical quadriceps tendon repair reported good to satisfactory results its impact on knee extensor strength and patellofemoral joint is unknown. The purpose of the study was to assess the clinical and functional outcome by quantifying subjective knee related outcome, isokinetic extensor strength complemented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For this retrospective clinical trial twenty-one patients with a mean age of 59.1 (±14.9) years were carried out for follow-up evaluation. For clinical outcome numeric rating scale for pain (NRS), Kujala anterior knee pain score, Knee osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) with its subscores, Tegener Activity Score (TAS), Isokinetic extensor strength testing (ISO) and the Limb symmetry index (LSI) were utilized. Muscle volume (V Mean follow-up was 56.2 (± 17.5) months. Clinical outcomes in mean were as follows: NRS 1.7 (±2.0), Kujala score 75.8 (± 15.8) points; KOOS 62.9 (±30.6) % (Subscores: (KOOS Distal quadriceps tendon repair leads to satisfactory subjective outcome in patients with low to moderate activity levels. Tendon integrity was reliably restored. However, extensor strength deficits remain in more than 40% of patients. Atrophy signs of advanced fatty infiltration were recorded in 15% and patellofemoral cartilage defects in 20% of all patients, indicating that previous assessment tools do not display functional outcome adequately.
