Introduction Flexor tendon injuries caused by deep lacerations to the hands are a challenging problem for tissue engineers. Such injuries often result in debilitating adhesions, scar tissue that prevents the normal gliding motion of the flexor tendons through their lubricating synovial sheaths, preventing the hands from opening and closing. Evidence exists that tendon adhesions as well as scarr...

Since the 1950s the incidence of spontaneous complete rupture of the Achilles tendon has risen steadily, possibly as a result of increased sedentary lifestyles and intermittent participation in recreational sports.1 Today the Achilles tendon is the second most frequently ruptured tendon, and no other tendon suffers complete rupture more often.3 Up to 25% of all cases are misdiagnosed,4-6 with s...

Rotator cuff ruptures are the most common injuries of shoulder joint with an incidence about 20 %. This pathology is more in adults over 60 years age because it caused by degenerative changes tendon. Massive account for 10–40 % all rotator injuries. Currently, there no unified surgical tactics treatment patients massive tendons. The aim. To assess efficiency transposition latissimus dorsi tendo...

Purpose:Human amniotic fluid contains several growth factors and hyaluronic acid. It has positive effect in healing the tendon, nerve bone injuries. Human membrane effects on is also used for skin burns complex wounds. We hypothesized that human have stimulating fracture healing. The aim of this study to investigate rat tibial model.

OBJECTIVE To examine the seasonal distribution of tendon ruptures in a large cohort of patients from Vancouver, Canada. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Acute Achilles tendon rupture cases that occurred from 1987 to 2010 at an academic hospital in Vancouver, Canada. Information was extracted from an orthopaedic database. PARTICIPANTS No direct contact was made with the participa...

In the Case Report "Early Controlled Motion Following Flexor Tendon Graft" (July 1988), the authors gave an excellent overview of the physio­ logical rationale for early controlled motion. I must express my concern, however, at their conclusion as stated: "The good functional results achieved suggest that a rehabilitation regimen consisting of the palmar pulley sys­ tem, a PIP joint block, and ...

MATERIAL AND METHODS Traumatic dislocation of the extensor tendon over the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint is a rare lesion that is caused by the dysfunction or rupture of the sagittal band, which is an important stabilizing structure of the extensor tendon. This mechanical alteration presents itself as instability that affects function and may cause pain or snapping during finger motion. The d...

IMPORTANCE Excessive use of smartphones has been associated with injuries. OBSERVATIONS A 29-year-old, right hand-dominant man presented with chronic left thumb pain and loss of active motion from playing a Match-3 puzzle video game on his smartphone all day for 6 to 8 weeks. On physical examination, the left extensor pollicis longus tendon was not palpable, and no tendon motion was noted wit...

INTRODUCTION Massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs) in the context of shoulder dislocations are relatively uncommon in the young adult (<40 years) and if reported are more commonly described in association with acute traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocations. They have rarely been described with posterior dislocations, regardless of patient age. This is the 1st case reported in the context of pos...
