Human patellar-tendon rupture
RF Zernicke, J Garhammer and FW Jobe
The first biomechanical analysis of a human patellar-tendon rupture during
actual sports competition is reported. Cinematographic data for analysis
were collected at a national weight-lifting championship. Dynamic equations
to mathematically model the lifter were developed to compute time course
and magnitudes of hip, knee and ankle-joint moments of force and of
tensile loading of the patellar tendon before and during tendon trauma.
Results provided evidence that the range of maximum tensile stress of the
tendon may be considerably greater during rapid dynamic loading conditions,
as in many sports situations, than maximum tensile stress obtained during
static test conditions.
