What does it mean? Translating anatomical language to engage public audiences

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy—many members of the public find themselves asking “what does it mean?”, and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.

Versican splice variant messenger RNA expression in normal human Achilles tendon and tendinopathies [PDF]

, 2004
Versican is the principal large proteoglycan expressed in mid-tendon, but its role in tendon pathology is unknown. Our objective was to define the expression of versican isoform splice variant messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in normal Achilles tendons,

Terminal Sterilization of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Allografts: A Systematic Review of Outcomes [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common and reconstruction can be completed with either autograft or allograft tissue. However, there is concern about an increased failure rate with allograft tissue.

Engineering Lignin‐Based Tubular Hydrogel Scaffolds for Load‐Bearing Biomedical Applications

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.
Flexible tubular shaped lignin based hydrogels. The development of mechanically robust, biocompatible, and biodegradable hydrogels remains a significant challenge for biomedical applications involving load‐bearing soft tissues. Herein, a tubular lignin‐derived hydrogel is engineered to assess its physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties ...

Sonographic Patellar and Quadriceps Tendon Length Pre‐ and Post‐Autograft Harvest: Reliability and Concurrent Validity

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensor mechanism autografts used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, namely bone‐patellar tendon‐bone (BPTB) and quadriceps tendon (QT), may result in harvest‐site tendon elongation. Extended field of view (EFOV) ultrasound imaging has the potential to evaluate changes in tendon length, but the reliability and validity of these ...

The Effect of the Achilles Tendon on Trabecular Structure in the Primate Calcaneus [PDF]

, 2013
Humans possess the longest Achilles tendon relative to total muscle length of any primate, an anatomy that is beneficial for bipedal locomotion. Reconstructing the evolutionary history of the Achilles tendon has been challenging, in part because soft ...

Estrogen and Progesterone Exhibit Distinct Yet Coordinated Roles in the Regulation of Tendon Extracellular Matrix Remodeling

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is required for the proper healing, strengthening, and maintenance of tendon tissue. There are well‐documented sex differences in tendon injury rates and healing outcomes, often attributed to either innate differences in tissue structure and resident cell signaling or the influence of sex hormones ...

Effects of a 10 week footstrike transition in habitual rearfoot runners with patellofemoral pain [PDF]

, 2016
Patellofemoral pain is the most common pathology in runners. Mid/fore foot runners experience lower patellofemoral loading compared to those who use a rearfoot strike.

Effects of Ultrasound‐Guided Tenotomy and Debridement on Pain, Function, and Psychological Factors for Achilles Tendinopathy: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ultrasound‐guided tenotomy and debridement is a minimally invasive treatment with a low risk of complications for individuals with chronic Achilles tendinopathy. Yet the benefits of this procedure on pain, function, and pain‐related psychological factors, as well as predictors of treatment success, remain understudied.
