چکیده

Tendons and ligaments are crucial structures inside the musculoskeletal system. Still many issues in the treatment of tendon diseases and injuries have yet not been resolved sufficiently. In particular, the role of estrogen-like compound (ELC) in tendon biology has received until now little attention in modern research, despite ELC being a well-studied and important factor in the physiology of other parts of the musculoskeletal system. In this review we attempt to summarize the available information on this topic and to determine many open questions in this field.

The effects of estrogen on material and mechanical properties of the intra- and extra-articular knee structures.

BACKGROUND Female athletes have a higher incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries than do male athletes in similar sports. Hormones, particularly estrogen, have been indicated by some studies to be correlated with the disproportionate number of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in female athletes. HYPOTHESIS Estrogen does not affect the mechanical or material properties of primate a...

The mystery of female connective tissue.

FEMALES AND MALES DIFFER in many ways, including physiologically, and the fact that some types of connective tissue injuries (e.g., ligament ruptures and bone stress fractures) are more frequent in females than in males remains a puzzle. Estrogen receptors are known to be present in fibroblasts of tendon and ligaments. However, the effect of estrogen on anterior cruciate ligament collagen turno...

Ultra-sonographic study of the effect of dry needling of extensor muscles combined with Mulligan mobilization technique on extensor muscle tendon thickness, pain and upper limb function in patients with lateral epicondylitis: A double-blinded randomi

Introduction: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is one of the most common causes of pain in the elbow. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dry needling (DN) of wrist extensor muscles along with Mulligan mobilization (MM) technique on extensor muscle tendon thickness, pain and upper limb function in patients with LE. Materials and Methods: 39 patients with LE participated in this double...
