Anatomical Relationships of the Proximal Attachment of the Hamstring Muscles with Neighboring Structures: From Ultrasound, Anatomical and Histological Findings to Clinical Implications.
Diagnostics (Basel)
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationships between the proximal attachments of hamstring muscles and surrounding structures using ultrasound and anatomical samples from 97 hemipelvis specimens.
- Results show distinct hyperechogenic lines surrounding the origins of the semimembranosus and biceps femoris, and reveal that the semimembranosus muscle has a more proximal origin compared to other hamstring muscles.
- The findings suggest that these anatomical connections may help explain the common injuries at the origins of the hamstring muscles.
Background: Neurodynamic tests are an essential aspect of the physical examination of the patient when suspicion of neural involvement exists. A manoeuvre that is hypothesised to move nerves differentially relative to other structures (structural differentiation) has been proposed as a necessary part of neurodynamic testing for differential diagnosis. However, although the specificity of structural differentiation for peripheral nerve over muscle has been demonstrated in some body regions, no study has tested specificity of nerve movement relative to fascia.

The Wise pattern breast reduction is one of the most frequent skin designs for this surgery. One key point of the surgery is to preserve a well-vascularized NAC by using different surgical pedicles.

- - The study focused on the semimembranosus muscle and its tendons, highlighting their anatomical features and relevance to knee pathologies through ultrasound examination and dissection.
- - Researchers examined 38 adult and 4 fetal knee specimens to analyze the muscle's anatomy and functions, noting significant tendon divisions, muscle rotation, and key measurements of the structure.
- - Findings showed important anatomical relationships that aid in understanding knee issues, which can enhance diagnosis and rehabilitation strategies following knee surgery.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the shoulder anatomy in adults, focusing on the muscles and their relationships using ultrasound, dissection, and microscopic techniques on 34 human shoulders.
- The findings showed that while ultrasound and dissection measurements are correlated, dissection provided more accurate thickness measurements for tendons and fascia, except for a few specific cases.
- The research highlighted significant anatomical interconnections between shoulder structures, indicating that injury to one area could affect adjacent tissues, and provided reference values for tendon and fascia thicknesses, with no gender differences observed.
