rupture/obesity

Bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture (BQTR) is a rare diagnosis only reported in about 100 cases in international literature, and is often associated with medical diseases, trauma or certain medications. We present a 64-year-old man with spontaneous BQTR, diagnosed and treated at our hospital. His

Introduction. Simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures (SBQTR) are uncommon knee injuries and most frequently occur in male patients, over 50 years of age. It can be associated with one or more predisposing risk factors like obesity, steroids use, and hyperparathyroidism. The main focus of

This is a single case report of bilateral, simultaneous, spontaneous rupture of the quadriceps tendon caused by obesity without trauma. The patient was a 52-year-old, 350-pound, morbidly obese man with a sedentary life style whose quadriceps tendons ruptured while he was descending a staircase. He

To describe the risk of adverse outcomes associated with uterine rupture in the setting of maternal obesity. This was a retrospective cohort analysis of singleton nonanomalous neonates born after uterine rupture between 34 and 42 weeks of gestation. We derived data from the U.S. Natality Database

OBJECTIVE To determine short- and long-term rates of successful outcomes of surgical and nonsurgical treatments for overweight dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR). METHODS Prospective, randomized, clinical trial. Animals-40 client-owned overweight dogs with unilateral

OBJECTIVE To determine the association between maternal obesity and delivery due to chorioamnionitis prior to labor onset, among expectantly managed women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM). METHODS This was a secondary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial of magnesium sulfate

BACKGROUND Maternal obesity is associated with increased systemic inflammation and an increased risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes. There is an established association between an inflammatory intrauterine environment and adverse neonatal outcomes that is independent of gestational age

BACKGROUND We conducted a retrospective comparison of surgical treatment outcomes for acute Achilles tendon ruptures in nonobese and obese patients. METHODS Between October 2006 and April 2014, we studied 76 patients with acute midsubstance Achilles tendon rupture: 44 nonobese and 32 obese (body

This study aimed to compare pregnancy outcomes in obese and nonobese women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) ≥34 weeks.

The present study is a secondary analysis of a multicenter retrospective cohort of singletons with

Background: Inflammation and mechanical demands play a role in the development of tendon conditions and the dysregulation of tendon healing. In patients with obesity, high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and a high mechanical demand

We present the case of spontaneous damage to the patellar tendon in a patient with pathologic obesity (BMI = 41), without comorbid conditions. Damage occurred during normal load combined with the movement of the knee extension when inserting a foot in flip-flops. Surgical treatment was performed in
