摘要：

An experiment was devised whereby physiological loads could be applied to the quadriceps tendon of cadaveric knee joints so that the ratio of tensions in the quadriceps tendon and the patellar ligament could be determined. On two knee joints, radiographs were taken before testing, so that the theoretical ratio of the tensions could be evaluated and compared with the experimental results. As the knee was flexed, the ratio of the tensions, frequently assumed to be unity, reduced by up to fifty per cent.
