2024年5月9日 · VMO is short for vastus medialis oblique muscle. It is one of the quadriceps muscles on the inside front of the thigh, just above the knee. Strengthening this muscle is particularly important for knee rehabilitation as it helps control the position of …

2024年12月12日 · How does one suffer a torn quad? The quadriceps tendon is injured most commonly from a forced eccentric contraction (contracting while lengthening) against an outside force. This can happen during high-energy accidents such as motor vehicle crashes and during sporting activities or during low energy injuries such as falls from a standing position.

The most common complications of quadriceps tendon repair include weakness and loss of knee motion. It is also possible to re-rupture the tendon after it has been repaired. In addition, the position of your kneecap may be different after the procedure.

2024年12月12日 · Quadriceps tendon ruptures are significant injuries that impair knee function and mobility. Complete disruption of the knee extensor mechanism requires prompt operative repair to restore function. The 2 most popular techniques for tendon repair use either transosseous drill tunnels with suture fixation or unicortical drill holes with suture ...

Quad tendon repair requires extensive rehabilitation and can often exhaust insurance approved PT visits. Consider decreasing frequency during middle phase rehab. You may choose to include IKDC, KOOS, ACL-RSI, Tegner or other questionnaires specific to your patient’s needs.

2025年2月1日 · As revision quadriceps repair using an anterior tibialis tendon allograft resulted in improved range of motion and durable repair in this four-case series, we suggest that the technique appears to be a viable solution for obese patients with …

Focus on proper quadriceps activation, especially VMO recruitment and patellofemoral mechanics should be the emphasis in the early stages of recovery. Continue fitness through upper extremity, trunk, and cardiovascular exercise.

2017年10月9日 · tie the most medial suture to the medial limb of the central two sutures. tie the most lateral suture to the lateral limb of the central two sutures. skin can be closed with absorbable or nonabsorbable sutures.

2025年1月21日 · The vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle is a crucial part of the quadriceps group that plays a significant role in maintaining knee stability and ensuring proper knee function. Located on the inner part of the thigh, the VMO attaches to the patella (kneecap) and contributes to smooth knee movement.

Isolated vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) tendinous rupture is a very rare injury. Passing sutures pulled through bone tunnels with needles is cumbersome and possibly would need reinforcement and or protection as described in vastus intermedius and rectus femoris repair.
