Biomechanics of Tendons and Tendon Failure

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2003
Research into the biomechanical properties of tendons had led to a better understanding of the functional and pathophysiologic processes that occur in vivo, particularly in the setting of tendon injury and failure. Increasingly, biomechanical information is being utilized in the clinical setting, guiding patient management in certain circumstances ...

ACHILLES TENDON AND MISCELLANEOUS TENDON LESIONS

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 1994
Abnormalities of the tendons of the foot and ankle are quite common and their number seems to be increasing. Commonly involved tendons include the Achilles and peroneal tendons; the tibialis anterior and flexor hallucis longus tendons are involved less commonly. Magnetic resonance imaging is well suited to imaging these abnormalities.

Atraumatic tendon handling during tendon repair

International Orthopaedics, 1996
Two techniques are presented for atraumatic handling of tendon ends during repair of flexor and extensor tendons. If the tendon is cleanly transected, the suture is carried out by holding the tendon in nerve holding forceps. If debridement is needed, a slice is partly cut and used to handle the tendon; the slice is then cut off and discarded.

Shielding of augmented tendon-tendon repair

Biomaterials, 1995
Strength and function of autogenic and xenogenic reconstruction of digital extensor tendons was examined in an ovine model. In this study, tendon-graft junctions were formed by either suture augmented with a woven polyester tube (A), or augmented and shielded from surrounding tissues by chemically-treated bovine pericardium (S).

Tendon Healing

Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2007
An understanding of the processes of tendon healing and tendon-to-bone healing is important for the intraoperative and postoperative management of patients with tendon ruptures or of patients requiring tendon transfers in foot and ankle surgery. Knowledge of the normal process allows clinicians to develop strategies when normal healing fails.

Biceps tendon and triceps tendon injuries

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2004
Injuries to the biceps and triceps tendons about the elbow are relatively infrequent. Typically, they are traumatic events that occur as a result of a forceful eccentric contraction. Early recognition of these injuries and prompt intervention are the cornerstones to a successful outcome.

Experimental Tendon Grafting Within Intact Tendon Sheath

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1983
A chicken toe experimental model was used to study the fate of flexor tendon grafts, introduced into intact tendon sheaths. After perfusion of the limb by India Ink, the vascular pattern of the graft and the synovial sheath could be identified. The grafts showed no or few adhesions to the sheath.

Vascularised Achilles tendon graft reconstruction – By the tendon for the tendon

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2010
The management of posterior heel defects whether the result of trauma or post-operative that result in a loss of the Achilles tendon and overlying skin is complex and challenging. Various techniques have been employed to reconstruct these compound defects often comprising of a free tissue transfer combined with a fascial tendon reconstruction.

Tendon repair

Journal of Hand Therapy, 1998
Recent studies of tendon repair are reviewed in order to help hand therapists make the most effective decisions regarding treatment of tendon injuries. Flexor tendons are emphasized by inclusion of the most current discussions and research on the different phases of intrinsic and extrinsic healing, the zones of injury, mechanical and chemical ...

Flexor tendon graft through intact superficialis tendon

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1977
During a 14-year period, the flexor profundus mechanism was reconstructed with a free tendon graft in 25 fingers. The graft was passed either through or alongside the intact superficialis tendon. Five of the profundus tendons had ruptured, and 21 had been severed. One patient was under 10 years of age and only three were over 21 years of age.
