Clinical results of multiple fibrous band release for the external snapping hip.

5 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: External snapping hip is caused by snapping of the thickened iliotibial band or the gluteus maximus over the greater trochanter. We retrospectively reviewed results of the release of multiple fibrous bands of the iliotibial band or ... Read more...

Basic concepts of enthesis biology and immunology.

30 Jul 2009 The article highlights key features of entheses relevant to understanding psoriatic arthritis (PsA). It is emphasized that entheses are regions of stress concentration and that stress levels are reduced by anatomical adaptations at the insertion ... Read more...

Induction of periostin-like factor and periostin in forearm muscle, tendon, and nerve in an animal model of work-related musculoskeletal disorder.

18 Jul 2009 Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), also known as repetitive strain injuries of the upper extremity, frequently cause disability and impairment of the upper extremities. Histopathological changes including excess collagen deposition ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Tendons'

Definition: Fibrous bands or cords of CONNECTIVE TISSUE at the ends of SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS that serve to attach the MUSCLES to bones and other structures.

Descriptor UI: D013710
