Proprioceptive inputs from the joints and limbs arise from mechanoreceptors in the muscles, ligaments and tendons. The knee joint has a wide range of movements, and proper neuroanatomical organization is critical for knee stability. Four ligaments (the anterior (ACL) and posterior (PCL) cruciate ...
While internal derangements of the knee often dominate the surgeon’s evaluation, musculotendinous abnormalities about the knee can be important pain generators. Musculotendinous injuries in the knee region have specific implications for treatment and prognosis and can account for unexpected diagnoses that...
The main synovial bursa in association with the insertion of the tibialis anterior tendon is located between the tendon and the cuneo-metatarsal joint and the medial cuneiform [1]. When bursitis is present, the tibialis anterior tendons are partially surrounded by a fluid collection. Peroneal tendon...
The integrity of the knee joint depends upon the muscles and tendons about the knee, the articular capsule, the intrinsic ligaments of the joint, and the bone architecture of the tibia and femur.Lateral motion of the knee joint in extens... OC Brantigan,AF Voshell - 《Jbjs》 被引量: ...
For contracture of the corono-pedal joint, the inferior check ligament is usually cut. For contracture of the fetlock joint and in severely affected foot cases, the superior check ligament and the deep digital flexor tendon may need to be cut. This surgery is not always successful and should...

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...
[Difference of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging of focus of knee joint tendon between patients with knee osteoarthritis and healthy subjects]. The thickness of ligaments and tendons in extension and flexion positions in KOA patients were thicker than that in healthy subjects (P<0.05).#The focus.....
Collagen in tendons is arranged in parallel primary, secondary, and tertiary bundles, so as to distribute muscular tensions equally to all parts of the insertions, at whatever position of the joint. The outer surface of each fascicle is covered by a uniform layer of collagen: this coating permi...
Damage most often occurs in the knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist, bicep, calf, and back of the heel, which is called the Achilles tendon. This tendon is named after the mythological figure, Achilles, who was killed when an arrow struck him in the back of his heel. The Achilles tendon ...
