background: sdft, ddft and suspensory ligament are the most important tendons and ligament of the palmar aspect of the metacarpus that contribute to stability mechanism. objectives: the purpose of this study was to describe the tendons and ligaments of the palmar surface of metacarpus in anatoly donkey and compare them with those in horse. methods: 14 healthy anatoly donkeys without lameness we...

Knee ligament instability may lead to meniscal and chondral damage, resulting in early osteoarthritis. Due to its superior soft tissue contrast and avoidance of harmful ionizing radiation, MRI has become the most important imaging modality for early recognition of structural defects of the knee joint. This review aims to the understanding of MRI appearances of knee ligament structures associate...

Supination injuries of the ankle ligament are among the most common injuries. They account for about 25% of all injuries in the musculoskeletal system. The most commonly injured part of the lateral ligament complex is the anterior talofibular ligament. In case of a multiligament rupture apart from the anterior talofibular ligament the calcaneofibular ligament is ruptured concomitantly. The calc...

Introduction Customary dissection in the Physical Therapy Anatomy Laboratory yielded a unilateral left-sided scapular ligament variation in a single cadaver. The embalmed specimen was a 58-year-old Caucasian male. The primary finding was a variant ligament which spanned across the supraspinous fossa in inferior to superior orientation. The suprascapular nerve and artery were seen passing under ...

Posterolateral instability (PLI) is common with posterior cruciate ligament tears and is less common with anterior cruciate ligament tears, and isolated PLI is rare. There are varying degrees of PLI with respect to pathologic external tibial rotation, and varus laxity. Surgical treatment of PLI must address all components of the PLI (popliteus tendon, popliteofibular ligament, lateral collatera...

Collateral ligament injury can be a cause of ACL graft failure. These ligament injuries must be addressed at revision surgery in order to prevent failure of the revision surgery. In malalignment with associated collateral ligament injury, osteotomy may be the preferred choice to manage the collateral ligament laxity. This outline will describe techniques for managing collateral ligament injury ...

avulsion is one of the most serious emergencies in dental office. in the event of any problem, the tooth should be stored in a medium that supports the periodontal ligament cell viability. in other clinical situations, preserving media, growth factors and mitogenic products may be useful in repairing the traumatized tissues. it has been previously reported that levodopa (l-dopa) accelerates hea...

background: periodontal ligament stem cells (pdlscs) are considered as a type of mesenchymal stem cell that is beneficial target for numerous clinical applications in periodontal tissue regeneration therapy. materials and methods: this study examined the effects of dexamethasone (dex) on human pdlscs in vitro. pdlscs obtained from the roots of patient’s teeth were cultured with dex (0.01 μm), a...

anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction surgery has significantly evolved in recent years. this has led to development of new technologies that facilitate the diagnosis of acl injury and the application of state of the art methods for treatment. in particular, individualized anatomical acl reconstruction aims to restore native acl function. treatment is tailored to each patient based on...
