In this in vitro study of the
hip joint we examined which soft tissues act as primary and secondary
passive rotational restraints when the hip joint is functionally
loaded. A total of nine cadaveric left hips were mounted in a testing
rig that allowed the application of forces, torques and rotations
in all six degrees of freedom. The hip was rotated throughout a
complete range of movement (ROM) and the contributions of the iliofemoral
(medial and lateral arms), pubofemoral and ischiofemoral ligaments
and the ligamentum teres to rotational restraint was determined
by resecting a

Aims. The aim of this study was to evaluate two hypotheses. First,
that disruption of posterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament
(PMCL) has to occur for the elbow to subluxate in cases of posteromedial
rotatory instability (PMRI) and second, that ulnohumeral contact
pressures increase after disruption of the PMCL. Materials and Methods. Six human cadaveric elbows were prepared on a custom-designed
apparatus which allowed muscle loading and passive elbow motion
under gravitational varus. Joint contact pressures were measured
sequentially in the intact elbow (INTACT), followed by an anteromedial
subtype two coronoid fracture (COR), a lateral collateral
Chronic ankle instability after ligamentous injuries has been attributed to loss of proprioception, but there has been no previous study of the mechanoreceptors in human

We report a new surgical technique of open carpal
tunnel release with subneural reconstruction of the transverse carpal
ligament and compare this with isolated open and endoscopic carpal
tunnel release. Between December 2007 and October 2011, 213 patients with carpal
tunnel syndrome (70 male, 143 female; mean age 45.6 years; 29 to
67) were recruited from three different centres and were randomly
allocated to three groups: group A, open carpal tunnel release with
subneural reconstruction of the transverse carpal
