Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Scheme depicting the experimental set up of the study. Achilles tendons and tenocytes were isolated from heterozygous (fa/+, non diabetic: non DMT2) and homozygous (fa/fa, diabetic: DMT2) Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats. Tendon degeneration, collagen type 1 alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression was determined in rat ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Traditional measurement techniques in cadaveric dissection fail to account for the changes in soft tissue length during joint movement. We have developed a new, simple method to obtain more accurate measurements of ligament length and validated using the lateral ankle ligaments group.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis - a case report
National Journal of Clinical Anatomy, 2013 The case reported here is an incidental finding of a specimen of lower three lumbar vertebrae with sacrum. It displayed ossification of anterolateral aspect of lower three lumbar vertebrae with sparing of intervertebral disc space.

Collagen organisation in the fibrous joint capsules in the digits of the human hand
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The function of the finger joints is important for daily life. In this review of the literature, we consider the role of collagen and its organization within the fibrous finger joint capsules of the interphalangeal (IP) joints and investigate the relationships between collagen orientation and joint function. Abstract Normal function of the hand and, in

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2016 Background Most ruptures of the native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and ACL graft occur at, or near, the femoral enthesis, with the posterolateral fibers of the native ligament being especially vulnerable during pivot landings.

Growth and mechanobiology of the tendon-bone enthesis
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2022 Tendons are cable-like connective tissues that transfer both active and passive forces generated by skeletal muscle to bone. In the mature skeleton, the tendon-bone enthesis is an interfacial zone of transitional tissue located between two mechanically dissimilar tissues: compliant, fibrous tendon to rigid, dense mineralized bone.

Development of the human Achilles tendon enthesis organ
Journal of Anatomy, 2008 AbstractThe attachment of the Achilles tendon is part of an ‘enthesis organ’ that reduces stress concentration at the hard–soft tissue interface. The organ also includes opposing sesamoid and periosteal fibrocartilages, a bursa and Kager's fat pad. In addition, the deep crural and plantar fasciae contribute to Achilles stress dissipation and could also

Do plantar calcaneal spurs make the plantar aponeurosis enthesis stronger? A biomechanical analysis
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Novel testing set up for determining enthesial avulsion parameters. Donor calcanei were dissected to isolate the central band of the plantar fascia, and mounted in a custom 3D‐printed rig (Fig A, B, C) for uniaxial tensile testing of the plantar fascia enthesis (Fig D). This study demonstrated no significant differences in the avulsion parameters, Fmax
