The digital annular pulleys (DAP) of the hand are specialised fibrous structures that stabilise the flexor tendons. We recently demonstrated that the insertions of the DAP are anatomical entheses, ...

Extensor tendon injuries, most frequently occurring in the hand, represent a significant clinical challenge due to the intricacies of the extensor mechanism and the vital function it performs in ...

Explore the anatomy, functional significance, and nature of injuries to these structures, as well as methods of tendon sheath repair and digital pulley reconstruction.

The displaced piece is attached and being displaced by the extensor tendon and must be reduced to avoid arthrosis and a droopy distal phalanx. It is the child's variant of a Mallet finger.

Robot and human reaching hand and pointing finger with human anatomy icon. Close up of robot hand and human working together while pointing finger with x ray holographic with blurred lab. Salubrious.

This study aimed to determine whether the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) or abductor pollicis longus (APL) can replace the function of thumb extension in hands in which the extensor pollicis brevis ...

We present a case of delayed rupture of extensor digitorum communis tendon seven years after volar plating of distal radius fracture. Drill bit penetration during surgery and prominent screw tips into ...

Robotic Hand Program: We designed a black resin robotic hand inspired by human anatomy. The prototype is motor-controlled, enabling finger flexion/extension, thumb abduction/adduction, and wrist ...

Tommy John Surgery, more formally known as ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, is used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow. A UCL is a ligament on the inner side of ...

During the surgery, a small bone in the wrist called the trapezium is removed and replaced with an implant or a piece of tendon (graft). This bone is part of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, which ...
