Canine tendon repair is a critical area of veterinary medicine, particularly for injuries involving the common calcaneal tendon (CCT) and other tendons in the hindlimb. The biomechanics of tendon ...
Calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fractures are relatively rare injuries that occur at the back of the heel bone (calcaneus) where the Achilles tendon attaches. These fractures can happen due to ...
Introduction Calcaneal apophysitis (CA) is common, but little is known about the underlying patho-mechanics. Growth related increases in Achilles tendon and plantar flexor stiffness are often cited as ...
In normal individuals a tongue-like extension of the retromalleolar fat pad entered the bursa during plantar flexion as the angle between Achilles tendon and calcaneus widened. The reverse occurred in ...
Milz et al5 also showed that compression can drive adaptive changes within the tendon matrix. Using 3-D reconstruction of the Achilles insertion, areas of fibrocartilage were seen at, and proximal to, ...
We present a case report of a man in his late 60s with synovial sarcoma affecting the right heel (calcaneus and soft tissue). A wide resection was performed, followed by reconstruction using a femoral ...
Biceps tendon tears or ruptures are often painful and frightening injuries. Although they typically occur in men of middle age or older, these injuries can also happen to younger and elderly ...
The patellar tendon connects the kneecap (the patella) to the shinbone. This is part of the "extensor mechanism" of the knee. Together with the kneecap, quadriceps tendon, and the quadriceps muscle, ...
My PhD aimed to gain insights in the relationship between triceps surae muscle force-sharing, Achilles tendon properties, and changes in pain, tendon structure and functioning during rehabilitation in ...
