Topical treatments are an easy way for you to ease the discomfort of stiff or injured tendons. A traditional treatment for tendon stiffness is to apply a paste of iodized salt and cider vinegar to the affected area. Drs. John Wilson and Thomas Best of the University of Wisconsin Medical Scho...
Hyperextension happens when a joint stretches beyond its normal capacity. This occurs when playing sports or exercising and when performing any movement that causes the joints to bend in an unnatural way. Common hyperextension injuries occur at the wrist, elbow, shoulder and knee. A knee hyperextens...
In the human body, there are many types of connective tissue which may serve similar functions depending on their location. Blood, fibrous connective tissue and adipose tissue are all types of connective tissue. Answer and Explanation: Tendons and aponeuroses are both types of connective tiss...
These tendons connect the muscle bellies in the forearm to the digits while passing through the carpal tunnel at the wrist and the tendon sheath at the distal palm and digits. • The FDS inserts on the base of the middle phalanx to flex the finger at the metacar- pophalangeal (MCP) ...
As the finger flexor tendons pass distally from the flexor muscles of the forearm through the wrist and fingers to their insertions in the phalanges they are progressively constricted into tighter surrounding tissues. This passage through the carpal tunn

Also, clinical exploration is based solely on the presence or absence of pain on direct palpation of the affected area [8], so there may be important discrepancies between clinically symptomatic and biologically active enthesitis. In addition, the intraarticular and deep locations of some entheses,...
Wrist tenodesis A: Extending the wrist flexes the fingers. With intact flexor tendons and a relaxed or distracted patient, passive wrist extension results in finger flexion. If flexor tendons are damaged, the injured finger(s) will rest in an extended position when the wrist is extended. ...
Cadaverous studies have shown that the radial head may act as a cam in pronation, to offer a mechanical advantage to the common extensor tendon and to mitigate load on the origin of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon.To determine the effect of radial...
