Patients were divided into two groups. The early postoperative group (3 to 30 months postoperative) consisted of 27 patients (group A) and the late postoperative group (31 to 70 months postoperative) consisted of 18 patients (group B). The healthy contralateral extensor apparatus was used as control.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In group A, the standard ultrasound cross\u2010section area of the PT increased by 20.48%, whereas in group B, it decreased by 4.88%. In group A, the patellar height was decreased by 9.21% in the donor side compared with the control. In group B, the patellar height was decreased by 7.02%. In group A, the Merchant's congruence angle increased by 11.59\u00b0, and for group B, this angle increased by 3.82\u00b0.
