UNLABELLED The falciform ligament is one of the anatomical structures which attach the liver to the diaphragm and anterior abdominal wall. Primary falciform ligament is very rare. In this article, we present a case of an isolated falciform ligament necrosis, a rare primary pathology of the falciform ligament, who was admitted with acute abdomen. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old female patient ...

We measured motion limits in human cadaveric knees before and after sectioning the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial structures. Sectioning the medial collateral ligament in an anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee increased the anterior translation limit at 90 degrees of flexion but not at 30 degrees of flexion. The tibia displaced straight anteriorly without exhibiting the coupled...

INTRODUCTION Diagnosis and treatment of multiple ligament injuries of the knee remain a real challenge for most surgeons. OBJECTIVE To find out the epidemiological profile of patients surgically treated at a Reference Service with more than one chronic ligament injury in the knee joint. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of a total of 978 operated patients, 109 presented at least two associated ligament...

BACKGROUND Numerous biomechanical studies of the lateral ankle ligaments have been reported; however, the isolated function of the calcaneofibular ligament has not been clarified. We hypothesize that the calcaneofibular ligament would stabilize the ankle joint complex under multidirectional loading, and that the in situ force in the calcaneofibular ligament would change in each flexed position....

BACKGROUND The exact anatomical cause of the tear trough remains undefined. This study was performed to identify the anatomical basis for the tear trough deformity. METHODS Forty-eight cadaveric hemifaces were dissected. With the skin over the midcheek intact, the tear trough area was approached through the preseptal space above and prezygomatic space below. The origins of the palpebral and o...

  Primary leiomyosarcoma of the broad ligament is a very rare, rapidly progressive and highly malignant gynecological tumor and only 16 cases have been reported in the literature. Here, presentation of leiomyosarcoma of the left broad ligament in a 26-years-old woman is reported. Clinical presentation and histological diagnosis is discussed. The patient has been treated surgically and remains...

BACKGROUND There have been several histological studies of the Leeds-Keio ligament in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, but there have been few of the Leeds-Keio ligament in the extra-articular portion. AIMS/METHODS To report the histological and ultrastructural findings of two cases of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using the Leeds-Keio ligament, removed 6.1 years and...

To reveal the detailed morphological features of the fibular collateral (fibular) ligament, popliteus tendon, popliteofibular ligament and the synovial components regarding to achieve data for surgical and biomechanical utilization. Knees of 10 formalin-fixed male cadavers were dissected bilaterally. Bursae around the lateral collateral ligament and the relation of popliteus tendon with lateral...

Reconstruction of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee is essential to restore knee joint function. Controversy exists regarding a standardized nomenclature, the connective attachments and the relationships between them, and the frequency of occurrence among all structures of the PLC. Thirty human cadaveric knee specimens were investigated. The lateral collateral ligament, popliteus tend...
