Stability of the Elbow Joint: Relevant Anatomy and Clinical Implications of In Vitro Biomechanical Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this literature review is to describe the clinical anatomy of the elbow joint based on information from in vitro biomechanical studies. The clinical consequences of this literature review are described and recommendations are given for the treatment of elbow joint dislocation.The PubMed and EMBASE electronic databases and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they included observations of the anatomy and biomechanics of the elbow joint in human anatomic specimens.Numerous studies of the kinematics, kinesiology and anatomy of the elbow joint in human anatomic specimens yielded important and interesting implications for trauma and orthopaedic surgeons.

The Stabilising Effect of the Anterior Oblique Ligament to Prevent Directional Subluxation at the Trapeziometacarpal Joint of the Thumb: A Biomechanical Cadaveric Study
Background: The trapeziometacarpal joint (TMCJ) is inherently unstable, relying on ligament restraint to preventsubluxation. Subluxation of the thumb in a dorsoradial direction is often observed in clinical practice, either after acuteligament injury or more commonly with osteoarthritis (OA). This subluxation follows loss of function of trapeziometacarpalligaments that stabilise this joint, res...

Ever since its description, anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee joint remains as the hotspot of controversies.Though it has been described under various descriptions, the structure gained its limelight when it was christenedas anterolateral ligament by Claes in 2013. The main reason for the controversies around it is the lack of concreteevidences regarding its attachments...
متن کاملAnatomy and biomechanics of the elbow joint.
The elbow joint is a complex structure that provides an important function as the mechanical link in the upper extremity between the hand, wrist and the shoulder. The elbow's functions include positioning the hand in space for fine movements, powerful grasping and serving as a fulcrum for the forearm. Loss of elbow function can severely affect activities of daily living. It is important to reco...

Patellar tendon moment arm length (PTma) changes at different knee flexion angles have not been determined in invivo studies. We aimed to determine PTma in four different knee angles using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) topredict in vivo changes in the moment arm length from different knee angles during running.PTma was measured as the perpendicular distance from muscle–tend...
