✦ Synopsis
Native collagen fibers were exposed to different dynamic loads to simulate damage to tendons and ligaments relevant clinically and for sports medicine The results suggest that the rupture of a tendon is caused at the submicroscopic fibrillar level Not only slow or very fast elongation, but also very fast unloading of stretched fibers seems to be responsible for disseminated damage, which reduces the stability of a fiber This damage is induced by intrafibrillar sliding processes, which occur only a few seconds before macroscopic slippage takes place The significance of these events for the beginning and progress of repair in vivo is discussed The conclusions are supported by simultaneous mechanical and radiological measurements, as well as by light and electronmicroscopic results.

## Abstract A case of bilateral simultaneous rupture of the quadriceps tendons associated with intra-tendon diabetic arteriolosclerosis is described.
Distal biceps tendon rupture is a rare injury. While plain radiographs are usually not helpful in visualizing the defect, evaluation of the tendon with MRI has proven to be useful as it depicts complete anatomic detail of the tendon and associated structures. Its multiplanar imaging capability and s
