The normal tendon and the abnormal tendon

Joint Bone Spine, 2001
Abstract Tendons were long given little recognition by rheumatologists. Yet, their complex structure and distinctive functional characteristics have been demonstrated by an abundance of histological, biochemical, and biomechanical studies: clearly, tendons are not inert cords linking muscles to bones.

Hyperuricemia in Tendons

2016
Hyperuricemia, particularly gout, and the immune inflammatory response are highly integrated. Both, long standing hyperuricemia and monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition can challenge tendon homeostasis because of their potential to cause inflammation to the host.

Tendon Transfers in Muscle and Tendon Loss

Hand Clinics, 1988
Tendon transfers in muscle and tendon loss offer some of the most gratifying results to both patient and surgeon. Poor results do occur at times in tendon transfer. When patients whose results were found to be less than expected were studied, the following problems were identified: 1. Acceptance of less than full passive range of motion before transfer.

Sonography of tendons

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2000
Recent advances in ultrasound technology and the development of high‐resolution ultrasound transducers have enabled detailed depiction of superficial musculoskeletal structures. While in the past considered as complementary to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, modern ultrasound has clearly become competitive. It is now the imaging modality of choice for

Mechanobiology of tendon

Journal of Biomechanics, 2006
Tendons are able to respond to mechanical forces by altering their structure, composition, and mechanical properties--a process called tissue mechanical adaptation. The fact that mechanical adaptation is effected by cells in tendons is clearly understood; however, how cells sense mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals that ...

Tendon Sheath Fibroma of the Medial Canthal Tendon

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2013
Fibromas of the tendon sheath are slow-growing, benign tumors most commonly found on the hands and wrist. A fibroma of the tendon sheath arising from the medial canthal tendon presented as an enlarging nodule that had been present for 40 years. The fibroma was identified by microscopy and immunohistochemistry, and surgical resection appears to have ...

TENDONS AND LIGAMENTS

2000
The need for human tissues and organs has increased over the past few years, mostly because of population growth. The risks for transmission of contagious diseases have also imposed serious restrictions to the availabiliry of human transplants. Recent advances in tissue and organ engineering have generated much interest among cIinicians and patient sin

Decellularized tendon as a prospective scaffold for tendon repair

Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2017
Tendon injuries impose significant clinical burdens on healthcare systems worldwide. At present, no therapeutic methods can cure tendon injuries in an ideal manner. With the development and improvement of decellularization technology, tendon extracellular matrix (ECM) can develop into novel scaffolds with potential for repairing injured tendons. Proper

Tendoscopy of the Achilles Tendon, Peroneal Tendon and Posterior Tibial Tendon

2016
Tendoscopy can be performed for the diagnosis and treatment of various pathologic conditions of the peroneal tendons, the posterior tibial tendon and the Achilles tendon. Tendoscopy is often favoured over open surgery as it is associated with less complications. This chapter describes the symptoms, aetiology, diagnosis, indications and treatment of the
