Morphology of the Ankle Collateral Ligaments: Functional and Clinical Considerations
… the anatomy and function of the ankle collateral ligaments, in order to provide a good knowledge base that could be used in clinical and biomechanical applications. Sixty eight cadaveric feet were dissected (age range: 62 – 98 years) and the morphology and ligament behaviour …

A Comparison of Methods for Measuring Damage in Sucrose-Treated Medial Collateral Ligaments
… It consists of a system of muscle, bone, and ligaments that endures repetitive loading during daily and athletic activities. When this loading is excessive, damage to the knee occurs leading to a decreased quality of life.The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the 4 major ligaments …

Comparison of radiographic guidance to magnetic resonance imaging guidance for injection of the collateral ligaments of the distal interphalangeal joint in an equine cadaver model
Desmopathy of the collateral ligament of the distal interphalangeal joint is a common cause of lameness in the horse and carries a poor prognosis for soundness. Intralesional treatment has been suggested as a way to improve outcome; however, limited reports describe methods for injecting this …

Viscoelastic Models for Ligaments and Tendons
Collagenous tissues such as ligaments and tendons are viscoelastic materials. They exhibit a slow continuous increase in strain over time, or creep, when subjected to a constant stress and a slow continuous decrease in stress over time, or stress relaxation, when subjected to a constant strain. …

Nonlinear Viscoelastic Behavior of Ligaments and Tendons: Models and Experiments
Ligaments and tendons are rope-like structures in our body that possess time- and history-dependent material properties. Despite the many advances made in experimental and theoretical biomechanics, the material properties of these biological structures are still not fully characterized. This …

Accuracy of Open MRI for Guiding Injection of the Equine Deep Digital Flexor Tendon within the Hoof
… has been previously reported for injecting the collateral ligaments of the distal interphalangeal joint. Four clinical cases of deep digital flexor tendinopathy have been treated with MRI-guided injections using a similar technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate accuracy of a technique …

Mechanical Investigation of Damage in Ligaments
… sprains are the result of over-stretching of ligaments. Second-degree sprains involve partial tears of the ligaments. In third-degree sprains, the ligaments are completely torn. Although first- and second-degree sprains are not as severe as third-degree sprains, they occur more frequently. The …
