Engineering of interfacial tissues is emerging as one of the grandest challenges of tissue engineering. This emergence is in part because of the complexity of the interface itself, but also because interfacial tissues are in high clinical demand. Hard–soft tissue interfaces (e.g., bone–cartilage...
Under-recognized soft-tissue structures inferior and lateral to the head of the clavicle: Anatomy with computed tomography correlation.sternoclavicular jointthyroid strap muscleclavicleCTThis study was undertaken to provide an anatomical explanation for two soft-tissue structures anecdotally found on axial ...
Injury mechanisms with compressive force to the radial head and a fracture line in the radial neck should draw attention to the lateral ulnar collateral ligaments (LUCL). The combination of coronoid and radial head fractures with rupture of the (LUCL) was first described by Hotchkiss [20] and...
A detailed understanding of the target tissue anatomy is critical to minimize non-target embolization. Image-guided techniques include fluoroscopy, CT, or cone-beam CT [38,45]. Fluoroscopy involves a real-time X-ray imaging technique, which is useful for guiding the catheter to the target site...

Fingertip or toe fractures, which can be diagnosed by x-ray, often occur if subungual hematomas comprise > 50% of nail matrix. Relevant Anatomy for Nail Trephination The nail above a hematoma has no sensation, but the nail bed is exquisitely sensitive. The n...
Much effort has been directed toward preserving the bone after tooth removal but far less effort has been applied to preserving the macro- and micro-anatomy of the tissue-zone after tooth removal. As will be explained more fully in the following, the method and arrangement of the present ...
The oropharyngeal anatomy [27] shows the uvula is a drop-shaped muscular tissue attached to the posterior edge of the soft palate. The soft palate is modelled as a rectangular thick plate in Figure 2, smoothly attached by the quasi-cylindrical uvula at the middle of the side edge. All the...
