Mesenchymal stem cells and insulin-like growth factor-I gene-enhanced mesenchymal stem cells improve structural aspects of healing in equine flexor digitorum superficialis tendons.

29 Sep 2009 Tendinitis remains a catastrophic injury among athletes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently been investigated for use in the treatment of tendinitis. Previous work has demonstrated the value of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) to ... Read more...

Ultrasound imaging of normal displacement of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon within the ulnar groove in 12 forearm-wrist positions.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Instability of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon can be a difficult clinical diagnosis because of normal changes in tendon position during wrist motion. Our goal was to determine the normal variation of ECU tendon displacement in 12 ... Read more...

Sonography of common tendon injuries.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to describe the normal and abnormal appearances of the tendons most easily and commonly assessed with sonography. CONCLUSION: Sonography is important in musculoskeletal imaging, and its accuracy is at least ... Read more...
