Anatomical Evaluation of the APL Tendons in Thumb CMC Joint and Osteoarthritis

NCT05626192 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Certain ligaments in the human body are designed to be a static stabilizer and others to have a sensory function thus remains an unresolved issue.

The presence of mechanoreceptors (sensory corpuscles and free nerve endins) in the human knee and ankle ligaments has implies a sensory role of ligaments in providing afferent information, which in turn regulates intrinsic stiffness in the muscles surrounding the joint, contribuiting to dynamic joint stability.

The aim of this study is to use immunohistochemical methods to analyze the general innervation and possible existence of sensory corpuscles in the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This study can help to know the contribution of the tendon insertions and ligaments in the dynamic thumb CMC joint stability.
