Analysis of cumulative strain in tendons and tendon sheaths
(Elsevier, 1987)
Twenty-five fresh frozen flexor digitorum profundus tendons stratified by sex were subjected to uniaxial step stress and cyclic loads in twelve intact human cadaver hands. By attaching specially designed clip strain gage ...
Viscoelastic properties of cat tendon: Effects of time after death and preservation by freezing
(Elsevier, 1968-07)
In this study postmortem changes in the character of the stress-strain limit cycle were analyzed for cat extensor communis and extensor lateralis tendons maintained in a stream of Ringer's solution and loaded with a short ...
Synovial Inflammation in Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2009-08)
Much of the work aimed at elucidating the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head has focused on bone blood supply, with little attention to the surrounding synovial tissue (ST). We hypothesized that patients ...
Direct calculation of the surface-to-volume ratio for human cancellous bone
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
There are many diseases which cause detrimental changes in the trabecular structure of cancellous bone, leading to mechanical failure of the tissue. One approach to understanding the mechanisms of these diseases is to ...
The elastic moduli of human subchondral, trabecular, and cortical bone tissue and the size-dependency of cortical bone modulus
(Elsevier, 1990)
The elastic moduli of human subchondral, trabecular, and cortical bone tissue from a proximal tibia were experimentally determined using three-point bending tests on a microstructural level. The mean modulus of subchondral ...
Rotator Cuff Tendinosis in an Animal Model: Role of Extrinsic and Overuse Factors
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Biomedical Engineering Society ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-09)
The rat shoulder animal model has been used previously to study the role of intrinsic injury (modeled as an acute insult to the tendon), extrinsic injury (modeled as external subacromial impingement), and overuse factors ...
Measurement and significance of three-dimensional architecture to the mechanical integrity of trabecular bone
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1993-02)
The mechanical properties of trabecular bone have been shown to vary significantly with age, anatomic location, and metabolic condition. Efforts towards predicting its behavior have been extensive, and significant relationship ...
