Chronic subtalar instability is a disabling complication after acute ankle sprains. Currently, the literature describing anatomy of intrinsic ligaments limited and equivocal which causes difficulties in diagnosis treatment instability. The purpose this study to assess anatomical characteristics clarify some points confusion. In 16 cadaveric feet, dimensions locations were assessed measured. CT-...

For the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) to be stable, not only do the articulating surfaces need to be congruent and well aligned but also the capsule and ligaments need to be mechanically and sensorially competent. According to recent investigations, ligaments should not be regarded as simple static structures maintaining articular alignment but as complex arrangements of collagen fibers contai...

Abstract A method that estimates invisible cracks from the surface based on deformation measured by digital image correlation (DIC) is being developed. An inverse problem setup to estimate such deformation. Surface deformation, DIC method, contains noise. Inverse problems have ill-conditions. The regularization applied in this study an extension of joint estimation maximum a posteriori (JE-MAP)...

Synthetic ligaments have been used in orthopaedics for nearly a century. After a wave of popularity in the early 1980s, particularly for treating the knee, they fell into disrepute due to the frequent and often severe complications, particularly when used intra-articularly. Subsequent advances in the materials, design and manufacture of synthetic ligaments have led to a renaissance in their pop...

The epidural space contains the internal vertebral venous plexus, adipose, and other connective tissues. In the anatomical literature, there are nonspecific descriptions of varying fibrous connective tissue bands in the epidural space, mainly mentioned in the lumbar region, that tether the dural sac to the posterior longitudinal ligament, the vertebral canal, and the ligamentum flavum. These li...

The purpose of the study was to explain the architecture of the posterior cruciate ligament because the views on its structure presented in the literature are inconsistent - from those considering it as indivisible to those presenting it as a multifascicular structure. Twenty formalin-fixed ligaments from human knee joints were tested using the preparation technique. All posterior cruciate liga...
