background laceration of the hand extensor tendons is common in the upper extremities, causing soft tissue trauma. these tendons, because of their superficial location and lying adjacent to bones, have a greater tendency to be injured than flexor tendons. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the results of primary repairs of lacerated extensor tendons of the fingers, with respect t...

introduction: topographic anatomy of the tendons and ligaments in healthy cases provides a normal atlas to diagnose abnormalities. the aim of this study was to provide ultrasonography description of the palmar tendons and ligaments of the anatoly donkey. methods: the metacarpal regions of 6 healthy anatoly donkeys were prepared for ultrasonography and divided to 6 levels (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b...

abstract traumatic rupture of the distal biceps tendon is rare. conservative treatment can result in reduced flexion and supination power with reduced function. this case report emphasizes the need for prompt surgical treatment and describes the possible complications of delayed surgical intervention.

results in 41 of 186 (22%) hands, the palmaris longus tendon was absent and absence of the fifth flexor digitorum tendon was noted in eight (4.30 %). the median surface area in the hands without palmaris longus was meaningfully lower than the hands with it (p = 0.025), while the difference in the median surface area was not statistically significant with regard to presence of the fifth flexor d...

BACKGROUND The nature of tendon neovascularisation associated with pain over time has not been studied. OBJECTIVE To prospectively study the patellar tendons in elite junior volleyball players. METHODS The patellar tendons in all students at the Swedish National Centre for high school volleyball were evaluated clinically and by ultrasonography (US) and Power Doppler (PD) sonography. RESUL...

BACKGROUND Clinical tendon injuries represent serious and unresolved issues of the case on how the injured tendons could be improved based on natural structure and mechanical strength. The aim of this studies the effect of aquatic activities and alogenic platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection in healing Achilles tendons of rats. METHODS Forty rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups. Se...

In this study postmortem changes in the character of the stress-strain limit cycle were analyzed for cat extensor communis and extensor lateralis tendons maintained in a stream of Ringer’s solution and loaded with a short series of symmetrical triangular-wave stress cycles. The mechanical behavior of these tendons was compared with that of similar tendons which had been preserved by freezing. I...
