All dogs had the medial third of the patellar tendon removed from one knee, while the contralateral knee was used as a control. The time zero group was immediately sacri ficed ; the other two groups were sacrificed at 3 and 6 months. Once the tissues were harvested, the patellar tendon was isolated and biomechanical and histologic analyses were conducted. Three and 6 months after surgery, there was a large amount of visible scar tissue in the tendon. The cross-sectional area of the tendons was 275% and 288% of controls at 3 and 6 months, respectively. The tensile modulus of the tendon was statistically less than controls at both 3 and 6 months. The energy to failure and stiffness of the operated ten dons were not statistically different than controls at 3 or 6 months after surgery. The results of this study directly contrast with those of an earlier study on the removal of the central third of the patellar tendon. While a number of factors could explain differences observed between removal of a central or medial third, this study confirms the short-term damaging effects of surgical removal of a portion of the patellar tendon to reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659402200121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,21]],"date-time":"2007-06-21T20:46:52Z","timestamp":1182458812000},"page":"136-142","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Biomechanical and Histologic Properties of the Canine Patellar Tendon After Removal of its Medial Third"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Lucinder H.","family":"Linder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Mechanics, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dean L.","family":"Sukin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert T.","family":"Burks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roger C.","family":"Haut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science and Mechanics, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","unstructured":"Alm A., Gillquist J.
