Mechanical and physiological processes contribute to joint tissue adaptations during growth
and exercise and after injury. Those adaptations are often in response to the …

The objective of this paper is to describe strategies for addressing technical aspects of the
computational modeling of ligaments with the finite element (FE) method. Strategies for FE …

Functional outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are generally poorer than
those of medial collateral ligament (MCL) tears. Following ligament damage, all phases of …

We analyzed the neuronal occurrence of autonomic transmitters; noradrenaline (NA),
neuropeptide Y (NPY) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), in the Achilles tendon …

The ideal treatment of a combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral
ligament (MCL) injury to the knee is still debated. In particular, the question of whether …

Background Although anterior cruciate ligament deficiency has been shown to lead to joint
degeneration, few quantitative data have been reported on its effect on soft tissue structures …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries often lead to significant functional impairment, and
are associated with increased risk for induction of degenerative joint disease. However, few …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common knee ligament injury among young,
active adults; however, little is known about its impact on the viscoelastic properties of the …

The purpose of this study was to assess, in an osteoarthritic (OA) model, whether
bisphosphonate (BP) antiresorptive therapy altered periarticular bone and bone–ligament …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency, and
subsequent bisphosphonate (BP) antiresorptive therapy, on the bone mineral interface at …
