Fig. 1. Illustrations of the approximate position where tissue block (dotted lines and drawn to scale for each tendon) was removed from the QT (A), PT (B), or ST (C). Tissue block of 1 cm×0.5 cm was removed at the centre of the QT or PT while 1 cm long tendon was removed at the mid-way of the semitendinosus tendon. QT, quadriceps tendon; P, patella; VM, vastus medialis; VL, vastus lateralis; PT, patellar tendon; ST, semitendinosus tendon; S, semitendinosus.
