  • Title: [Partial rupture of the quadriceps tendon in a 6-year-old boy].
    Author: Sesia SB, Hasler CC, Köhler M, Mayr J.
    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 2007 Oct; 110(10):907-10. PubMed ID: 17581731.
    Abstract:
    In children, avulsion fractures of the patella are observed more frequently than ruptures of the quadriceps tendon. In cases of suspected lesions of the quadriceps tendon, conventional x-ray imaging and ultrasound comparison of both patellae is recommended. Arthroscopy is helpful for diagnosing concomitant intra-articular knee lesions and permits evacuation of the hemarthrosis.
