A recent study conducted by the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute in Philadelphia examined the factors associated with poor outcomes after quadriceps tendon repair. The study found that increasing age, greater body mass index (BMI), female sex, current smoking status, and the presence of concomitant retinacular tears were all risk factors for poor outcomes. The researchers suggest that further studies are needed to identify modifiable risk factors that can improve patient outcomes. This information is valuable for individuals undergoing quadriceps tendon repair and can help set realistic expectations for recovery. [Extracted from the article] |
