27 maj 2017 · This chapter illustrates some of the properties of ligaments related to their histology, composition, anatomy, injury and healing mechanisms. The chapter also includes the biochemical composition of these tissues, as well as a comparison between the ACL and MCL.
5 lut 2022 · Results: Three different morphological compositions were identified: dense, mixed, and interlaced compositions. Densely packed ligaments, characterized by parallel bundles of collagen, were primarily seen in the lateral region, the canalis tarsi, and the anterior tibiofibular ligaments.
The ankle has a relatively high level of congruency, meaning that despite experiencing high loads during normal activities, the load-bearing area of the ankle is large (11–13 cm 2), and it has been proposed that this should result in lower stress than at the hip or knee. 5 The majority of contact analysis within the ankle has been conducted ...
28 maj 2024 · The ankle joint is a highly congruent and dynamic joint consisting of three bones, collateral and syndesmotic ligaments, and surrounding tendons and muscles. Articular surfaces and the collateral ligaments guide talar motion within the ankle mortise and ensure stability.
