A direct analogy with the function of large proteoglycans in articular cartilage has led to the assumption that the presence of such components in tendon fibrocartilages is a major factor enabling these structures to resist pressure. However, the association of collagen fibrils in bundles and their

The extensor tendons of the fingers cross both the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal joints. Previous studies have shown that where the extensor tendons replace the capsule of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, they contain a sesamoid fibrocartilage that articulates with the proxi
The extensor tendons of the fingers and toes form part of the capsule of the interphalangeal joint and press against the proximal phalanx during flexion. Previous work on the fingers has shown that there is a ''sesamoid'' fibrocartilage on the deep surface of each tendon that labels immunohistochemi
This study histologically and immunohistochemically demonstrated developmental changes in cell morphology and expression of type-X collagen in the attachment of the Achilles tendon to the calcaneus in the rat. Although the site of attachment in the mature rat showed a well organized, direct insertio
The healing of flexor tendons was studied in chickens using transmission electron microscopy. After resecting the flexor sheath between the proximal and distal pulleys in zone II, the profundus tendon was severed and sutured. Intermittent passive motion was carried out 35 times daily immediately aft
