Mechanoreceptors in the palmar wrist ligaments.
Three palmar wrist ligaments from fresh human cadavers were dissected from the proximal to the distal insertions and stained to identify the mechanoreceptors. Golgi organs, Pacinian corpuscles, Ruffini endings and free nerve endings were present in all three ligaments. In the radial collateral and radiolunate ligaments they were found in increased density towards the proximal and distal inserti...
متن کاملMechanoreceptors in human ankle ligaments.
Chronic ankle instability after ligamentous injuries has been attributed to loss of proprioception, but there has been no previous study of the mechanoreceptors in human ligaments at this joint. We have examined the ligaments from five cadaver ankles for mechanoreceptors and classified them into the four types described by Wyke and Freeman in their study of feline ligaments. Type-II receptors, ...
متن کاملWrist ligaments: their significance in carpal instability.
BACKGROUND Understanding the exact contribution of the supporting ligaments to the functional integrity of the wrist is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of carpal instabilities. The present study evaluates functional significance of the wrist ligaments with respect to carpal instabilities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen fresh cadaver wrists were dissected. Extrinsic and intrinsic ligame...
متن کاملModeling the Length of Wrist Ligaments
We hypothesize that there is a correlation between wrist ligament length disorders and wrist mobility disorders. In order to test that, we intend to add ligament length information to the existing wrist bone model developed at Brown. We will model the length of distal and scapholunate ligaments for a set of 18 wrists (9 of them with mobility problems), evaluate these lengths as functions of spe...
متن کاملWrist Imaging: Ligaments and Triangular Fibrocartilage
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR arthrography are both effective means to evaluate the instrinsic and extrinsic ligaments of the wrist, as well as the triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) [1-6]. High resolution detail of the wrist can be achieved with a variety of magnet strengths, with 1.5 Tesla (T) and 3T being the most commonly utilized in current practice. Dedicated wrist coils are critic...
