The patellar ligament underwent structural changes six months post-surgery, showing increased thickness in specific areas.
At T0, patellar ligament thickness significantly decreased, while after surgery (T1, T2, T3) it showed consistent increases.
Assessment utilized radiographic, ultrasonographic, and elastosonographic techniques to evaluate ligament changes.
Findings underline the importance of monitoring ligament health post-surgery, as these changes may impact recovery and function.
