In patellar tendinosis (jumper's knee), chronic microtrauma between the undersurface of the patellar insertion and a prominent patellar tip has been assumed to be a causative factor for chronic impingement and secondary degenerative changes of the patellar tendon. Complete patellar tendon tears may ...
The tendons of the ankle may be divided into four compartments: anterior, medial, posterior, and lateral. The anterior compartment includes the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus tendons; an accessory peroneus tertius tendon may also be present. The medial compa...
Tendon bursae help minimize friction between the tendon and adjacent bony structures (seeImage. Medial View of the Knee). Bursae are small serous vesicles situated where bony protrusions might compress and cause friction on tendons, potentially leading to wear and tear. Examples are the subacromial,...
performed with sonography, CT, or MRI, depending on the clinical setting. In this chapter, evaluation of knee tendons and muscles focuses on normal anatomy, anatomic variations, the selection of an appropriate cross-sectional imaging technique, and the most common imaging findings after injury and ...
1. Extensor Digitorum Longus: Originates just below the knee on the outer shin bones and forms a tendon before passing across the front of the ankle after which it splits into four foot tendons, one to each of the outer four toes 2. Extensor Digitorum Brevis: Originates from the top ...
The muscles groups around the knee have an antigravity role and offer knee stabilization during standing position and stability in a variety of different positions. They can be classified based on their anatomic location as well as on their function. The muscles of the thigh and lower leg are ...
The basic science of anterior cruciate ligament surgery. Surgery for ligamentous injuries of the knee continues to be one of the most common procedures performed by orthopaedists. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)... MD Boynton,PD Fadale - 《Orthopaedic Review》 被引量: 23发表: 1993年 PRINCIPL...
Describe the four (4) main ligaments of the knee and what their primary functions are. Describe the functions of gyri. What are the main functions of connective tissue? Using example, explain how the structure of the connective tissue allows them to carry out their functions. ...
Abstract The muscles groups around the knee have an antigravity role and offer knee stabilization during standing position and stability in a variety of different positions. They can be classified based on their anatomic location as well as on their function. The muscles of the thigh and lower le...
In an earlier paper (Storace and Wolf, 1979), the functional anatomy of the finger was studied by considering the equilibrium of tendon forces and externally applied forces. The current work presents an alternative approach which studies the finger's functional anatomy from a kinematic viewpoint....
