Background: This study focuses on the relationship between forearm muscles, carpal ligaments, and their impact on scapholunate joint stability across varying forearm rotations. This is crucial for optimizing pre and postoperative rehabilitation strategies for scapholunate joint dysfunction.

Purpose: Our study aims to understand the kinetic influence of forearm muscles on scapholunate joint instability.

Immunofluorescence analysis of sensory nerve endings in the periarticular tissue of the human elbow joint.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

July 2023

Department of Plastic and Hand Surgery, Burn Unit, Hospital Sankt Georg, Delitzscher Straße 141, 04129, Leipzig, Germany.

Introduction: To investigate the dynamic aspects of elbow stability, we aimed to analyze sensory nerve endings in the ligaments and the capsule of elbow joints.

Materials And Methods: The capsule with its anterior (AJC) and posterior (PJC) parts, the radial collateral ligament (RCL), the annular ligament (AL), and the ulnar collateral ligament with its posterior (PUCL), transverse (TUCL) and anterior parts (AUCL) were dissected from eleven human cadaver elbow joints. Sensory nerve endings were analyzed in two levels per specimen as total cell amount/ cm after immunofluorescence staining with low-affinity neurotrophin receptor p75, protein gene product 9.

The human interosseous membrane (IOM) is a fundamental stabilizer during forearm rotation. To investigate the dynamic aspects of forearm stability, we analyzed sensory nerve endings in the IOM. The distal oblique bundle (DOB), the distal accessory band (DAB), the central band (CB), the proximal accessory band (PAB), the dorsal oblique accessory cord (DOAC) and the proximal oblique cord (POC) were dissected from 11 human cadaver forearms.
