Myotendinous junction is the transition zone between the muscle and its tendon. Hence, it is subject to immense stress within the muscle. In this study, it is found that muscles having a greater tensile have a more arranged myotendinous junction compared to muscles with lesser tensile strength. Cadaveric specimens - plantaris, gastrocnemius, and soleus have been histologically studied to study the same.

Inflammatory and degenerative changes in the extensor pollicis longus muscle and tendon following ruptures caused by distal radius fractures.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Department of Hand Surgery, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: Rupture of extensor pollicis longus tendon (EPL) is a known complication following a distal radius fracture (DRF). Although the precise mechanisms behind these ruptures remain unclear, vascular impairment is thought to play a significant role. Additionally, the impact of an EPL rupture on microstructure of the tendon and muscle is not well understood, but such information could be important in guiding treatment strategies.

The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a weak link in the musculoskeletal system. Here, we isolated the tips of single myofibres from healthy human hamstring muscles for confocal microscopy (n=6) and RNAscope in situ hybridisation (n=6) to gain insight into the profiles of cells and myonuclei in this region, in a fibre type manner. A marked presence of mononuclear cells was observed coating the myofibre tips (confirmed by serial block face scanning electron microscopy and cryosection immunofluorescence), with higher numbers for type I (median 29; range 16-63) than type II (16; 9-23) myofibres (p<0.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the fixation strength and performance of three different devices used for securing the proximal biceps to the humerus in sheep, using a total of 27 tests across three groups: metallic anchors, biocomposite knotless devices, and metallic interference screws.
- - The results indicated no significant difference in fixation strength or tendon displacement among the three techniques, although each device had distinct failure patterns: metallic anchors ruptured at the myotendinous junction, knotless anchors failed at the wire-screw interface, and interference screws slipped at the tendon.
- - Overall, all three fixation methods demonstrated substantial resistance to tensile loads, suggesting equivalency in performance; further studies on cyclic load resistance could enhance comparisons between these
Severe Flexor Digitorum Profundus Muscular Adhesion by Pseudo-Volkmann's Contracture without Fracture: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Arch Plast Surg

Article Synopsis
- - Volkmann's ischemic contracture involves permanent muscle and nerve damage from insufficient blood flow, leading to flexion contractures, whereas pseudo-Volkmann's contracture shares similar symptoms but can fully recover without ischemic damage.
- - A case study describes a 39-year-old man who experienced finger extension failure after blunt forearm trauma, showing progressive symptoms over two months despite no broken skin or bones.
- - Surgical intervention after two years revealed severe muscle adhesions due to the trauma, and immediate recovery was achieved after the adhesions were released, suggesting a diagnosis of pseudo-Volkmann's contracture.

Skeletal muscle formation involves tight interactions between muscle cells and associated connective tissue fibroblasts. Every muscle displays the same type of organisation, they are innervated in the middle and attached at both extremities to tendons. Myonuclei are heterogeneous along myotubes and regionalised according to these middle and tip domains.
