OBJECTIVE.The purpose of this study was to quantify quadriceps tendon length, thickness, and insertion in relation to the suprapatellar fat pad. in men at all measurement locations. Quadriceps tendon insertion and the suprapatellar fat pad along the patellar base measured 16 ± 2 and 6 ± 2 mm, respectively, in women, and 18 ± 3 and 7 ± 2 mm, respectively, in men. SUBJECTS CONCLUSION.On midline MR images, sagittal thickness of the quadriceps tendon and its insertion was significantly larger in men than in women. The prevalence of the suprapatellar fat pad was 100%.

Dorsal fractures of the triquetrum are frequently associated with dorsal carpal ligament injuries. Bone marrow edema distribution is not correlated with these ligament tears.
