| | eMedicine - Quadriceps Injury : Article Excerpt by Leslie Milne |
 | | One study reported that of all tendinopathies affecting the extensor mechanism, the frequency of patellar tendinitis at its insertion was 65%, quadriceps tendinitis was 25%, and patellar tendinitis at its insertion into the tibial tuberosity was 10%. | | | Not surprisingly, quadriceps strains most commonly affect athletes who subject their knees to high levels of repeated loading of the extensor mechanism. | | | Medicine is a constantly changing science and not all therapies are clearly established. |

| | eMedicine - Quadriceps Tendon Rupture : Article by James Lyle, MD |
| | Relevant Anatomy: The quadriceps muscle is composed of 4 muscle groups, the vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris. | | | Early operative repair is indicated for all acute complete quadriceps tendon ruptures, provided the patient is a suitable surgical candidate. | | | Range-of-motion exercises then are initiated and quadriceps strengthening continued until strength is equal to that of the contralateral leg. |

| | Rehabilitation of Quadriceps Contusions and Hip Pointers in Sports |
| | Prevention of quadriceps contusions and hip pointers through appropriate padding should be taken seriously by the athletes, parents, coaches, and athletic trainers. | | | These activities should not be started until the athlete has full, pain-free motion and is jogging straight ahead without pain, limping, or swelling. | | | Unfortunately, despite the best precautions, these injuries still can occur and appropriate treatment is important for a quick, safe return to play. |

| | News - Improved Rehabilitation Regimens Needed to Reverse Quadriceps Weakness after Total Knee Arthroplasty for ... |
| | To reverse quadriceps weakness and activation failure after TKA, the authors conclude that improvements in rehabilitation after surgery are needed that focus on exercises to strengthen muscle contractions and on clinical tools, such as biofeedback, to help activate muscles. | | | To assess how AMI contributes to quadriceps weakness before and after TKA, as well as the effect of pain on AMI, Jennifer E. Stevens, MD, and colleagues from the University of Florida, Gainesville, evaluated 28 patients (mean age 63 years) who underwent unilateral TKA for primary OA of the knee. | | | Although patients with osteoarthritis (OA) who receive a TKA experience improved function and reduced pain, quadriceps weakness and arthrogenous muscle inhibition (AMI) may persist even years after surgery and impairs functioning of these patients. |
