Abstract
Recently, poly(ester urethanes) were investigated for use as ligament grafts due to their exceptional mechanical properties and highly tunable structure; however, these grafts are susceptible to hydrolytic degradation that occurs independent of tissue regeneration. To address this li...

Abstract
We aimed to apply this concept to a three-dimensional full silk fibroin (SF) hybrid scaffold system, which comprised of knitted SF and aligned SF electrospun fibers (SFEFs), for ligament tissue engineering applications. Specifically, knitted SF, which contributed to the mechanical robustness of the...

Abstract
We detected it in two of our dissections (9%). We found a peroneus quinti in four of our dissections. We also found an extraordinary ligamentous structure that runs between the distal lateral process of the calcaneus and the inferior peroneal retinaculum in 12 of our dissections. A single form of th...

Abstract
Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow may be a cause of significant impairment of daily activities. The diagnosis is a clinical one, based on the history and physical examination. Imaging studies are often inconclusive because of the variable anatomy of the radio-ulnohumeral ligamentous c...

Abstract
We studied the effects of mechanical stretching on the cell morphology and mRNA expression of several key genes modulating tendon/ligament genesis. We demonstrate that bone-marrow-derived rat MSCs (rMSCs), when subjected to cyclic uniaxial stretching, express obvious detectable mRNAs for tenascin C...

Abstract
Etymology teaches us to use the term prolapse exclusively for describing the part of the intervertebral disk that has slipped forwards, that is, towards the anterior longitudinal ligament. Consequently, the word retrolapse has to be introduced as the corresponding term in order to designate the post...

It was observed that the bony bars between the three clinoid processes can be divided into four types (Types I, II, III, IV). Due to the presence of these bars three types of interclinoid foramina were formed. A total incidence of 22% of various types of interclinoid bars was observed, out of which...
