==============================================

📌 Normal Quadriceps Tendon Appearance

• Distinctive laminated or trilaminar appearance on sagittal MR images
• Layered configuration with low-signal intensity tendinous bands separated by linear interdigitating fat
• Normal trilaminar appearance should not be mistaken for tendinosis

 

📌 Quadriceps Tendinosis Findings

• Tendon thickening and linear hyperintensity
• Edema within the fat between the layers of the quadriceps tendon
• Edema of the quadriceps fat pad associated with distal quadriceps tendinosis

 

✅Epidemiology and Associated Factors

• Less common than patellar tendinosis
• Associated with chronic underlying systemic diseases and/or drug use
• Repetitive microtrauma, such as in jumping sports

• Calcific tendinosis of the quadriceps tendon (less common)
