Published: October 2008

The forensic expertise of the 6 human bodies, being murdered in organised crime activities, had been realised by the authors. All the cadavers were packed in plastic bags or plastic foils, then buried to the illegal graves, being prepared in advance. The detail overlook and autopsy of the bodies had disclosed, that due of almost airtight sealing of the cadavers in plastic materials, the postmortal cadaverous changes went on much slower and were manifested under a different picture, as seen in the human cadavers being buried in the standard wooden coffins. The authors point out the peculiarities of such a postmortal changes, with particular focusing on the estimation of postmortal period.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a major ligament in the knee joint, and its function is crucial for both the movement and stability of the knee. Our research takes a novel approach by investigating the effect of meniscus tears on the ACL, how such tears will impact the stress on the ACL, and its overall compensation in response to the changes in the meniscus. : This study aims to investigate how the ACL compensates for the change in knee joint stability and contact pressures due to partial horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs) in the meniscus, such as partial meniscectomy and partial transplantation on knee joint stability and contact pressures.

Introduction: With the increased use of computed tomography scans in cases with trimalleolar ankle fractures, bone fragments between the posterior malleolus and the rest of the articular surface tibial plafond surface - described as intercalary fragments (ICFs) - can be recognized. The aim of this study was to determine the ICF size threshold for a significant change in the pressure distribution at the ankle joint, having a considerable impact on the remaining cartilage of the joint.

Design And Methods: Eight human cadaveric lower legs were used, and a posterior malleolus Bartoniček/Rammelt II fracture was created with sequential 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm ICFs.

Motion mapping and positioning of lumbrical muscles in the carpal tunnel-a cadaveric study.

J Orthop

July 2025

Department of Hand Surgery, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, 576104, India.

Aims And Objectives: Dynamic incursion of lumbrical muscle proximal to the distal edge of transverse carpal ligament (TCL) has been long debated for its role in causing median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel. This study aims to evaluate the pattern of lumbrical incursion into the carpal tunnel in various finger positions and determine their extent of presence and relationship with respect to the TCL and to each other in the carpal tunnel.

Materials & Methods: Dissection of 30 fresh frozen cadaveric hands was done to map the lumbrical muscles.

Bone turnover assessment and monitoring are essential for chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated bone care. Patients with CKD suffer from significantly elevated fracture risk due to abnormally high or low bone turnover, which requires diametrically opposite treatments informed by patient-specific bone turnover data. However, a reliable, accessible, non-invasive bone turnover assessment and monitoring tool remains an unmet clinical need.

Article Synopsis
  • Limited biomechanical research explores how horizontal meniscus tears (HMTs), meniscal repair (MR), and meniscectomy affect knee biomechanics, prompting this systematic review to investigate changes in knee contact mechanics following these conditions.
  • A total of 6 studies were analyzed, revealing that HMTs increase peak contact pressure (PCP) by 14.2% and decrease contact area (CA) by 7.1%; partial meniscectomies (PM) also raised PCP significantly while reducing CA, and complete meniscectomies (CM) resulted in even higher increases in PCP (54.5%).
  • Meniscal repair (MR) showed no significant difference in PCP or CA compared to intact menisci, indicating that it
