Influence of bone adaptation on tendon-to-bone healing in bone tunnel after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a rabbit model.

30 Oct 2009 Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with placement of grafted tendon in bone tunnel is a common surgical procedure. Bone tunnel creation may result in stress shielding of postero-lateral regions of tibial tunnel. The present study was ... Read more...

Combining prehension and propulsion: the foot of Ardipithecus ramidus.

30 Sep 2009 Several elements of the Ardipithecus ramidus foot are preserved, primarily in the ARA-VP-6/500 partial skeleton. The foot has a widely abducent hallux, which was not propulsive during terrestrial bipedality. However, it lacks the highly derived ... Read more...

Location of myofiber damage in skeletal muscle after lengthening contractions.

29 Sep 2009 High-force lengthening contractions are associated with muscle damage and pain, and the muscle-tendon junction is commonly cited as the primary area where myofiber damage occurs. We induced injury in the rat tibialis anterior muscle and acquired ... Read more...
