Distal semimembranosus muscle-tendon-unit review: morphology, accurate terminology, and clinical relevance.
BACKGROUND Our knowledge of the stability of the posteromedial knee is evolving. The distal semimembranosus is an important posteromedial stabilizer of the knee. Current anatomical texts and atlases do not accurately detail the distal insertion. Journal literature commonly mentions multiple distal insertions, one of which contributes to the oblique popliteal ligament. The purpose of this study ...
متن کاملDistal Semimembranosus Tendon Avulsions: Acute Surgical Repair in a Professional Rugby Player
The hamstring muscles and tendons are the most commonly injured muscle group in athletes. The hamstring tendons are particularly vulnerable to injuries, as they cross 2 joints and have a high proportion of type 2 muscle fibers. They act mainly as decelerators of the leg, and as they work eccentrically, they are prone to excessive force in the muscle-tendon unit. Most hamstring injuries are stra...
متن کاملReview of the Iliocapsularis Muscle and its Clinical Relevance
Little is known about the iliocapsularis muscle, which covers the anteromedial capsule of the hip joint. Although this muscle has rarely mentioned in anatomy texts since its first appearance in a French Anatomy text in 1843, it is considered an important muscular landmark in terms of surgery. More recently, several studies have focused on and described the morphology and possible role of this m...
متن کاملThymoma Metastasis to the Semimembranosus Muscle
Thymoma is the most common thymic epithelial tumor whose classification was first introduced in 1999. Type B2 thymoma is considered a moderate/high-risk tumor; however, extrathoracic metastases are extremely rare with limited reports to date. In this report, we present a rare thymoma metastasis to the semimembranosus muscle, which was resected with a wide margin after confirmation by open biops...
متن کاملVariability in Biceps Femoris Long Head Muscle-Tendon Morphology
INTRODUCTION The biceps femoris long head, one of the muscles of the hamstrings group, is one of the most commonly injured lower-limb muscles. Previous studies have suggested that aponeurosis morphology influences injury susceptibility in muscle [1]. In that study, a model of the biceps femoris long head muscle predicted that the width of the muscle’s proximal aponeurosis greatly affects locali...
