Collateral Ligaments
Medial Collateral Ligament, Knee
Ligaments
Ligaments, Articular
Fibrous cords of CONNECTIVE TISSUE that attach bones to each other and hold together the many types of joints in the body. Articular ligaments are strong, elastic, and allow movement in only specific directions, depending on the individual joint.
Collateral Circulation
Posterior Cruciate Ligament
Joint Instability
Lack of stability of a joint or joint prosthesis. Factors involved are intra-articular disease and integrity of extra-articular structures such as joint capsule, ligaments, and muscles.
Periodontal Ligament
Knee Injuries
Injuries to the knee or the knee joint.
Longitudinal Ligaments
Two extensive fibrous bands running the length of the vertebral column. The anterior longitudinal ligament (ligamentum longitudinale anterius; lacertus medius) interconnects the anterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies; the posterior longitudinal ligament (ligamentum longitudinale posterius) interconnects the posterior surfaces. The commonest clinical consideration is OSSIFICATION OF POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT. (From Stedman, 25th ed)

Hemarthrosis
Finger Joint
Dislocations
Tarsus, Animal
The region in the hindlimb of a quadruped, corresponding to the human ANKLE.
Tendons
Neoplasms, Post-Traumatic
Menisci, Tibial
The interarticular fibrocartilages of the superior surface of the tibia.
Patellar Ligament
A band of fibrous tissue that attaches the apex of the PATELLA to the lower part of the tubercle of the TIBIA. The ligament is actually the caudal continuation of the common tendon of the QUADRICEPS FEMORIS. The patella is embedded in that tendon. As such, the patellar ligament can be thought of as connecting the quadriceps femoris tendon to the tibia, and therefore it is sometimes called the patellar tendon.

Orthopedic Procedures
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Rebuilding of the ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT to restore functional stability of the knee. AUTOGRAFTING or ALLOGRAFTING of tissues is often used.
Range of Motion, Articular
Fibula
The bone of the lower leg lateral to and smaller than the tibia. In proportion to its length, it is the most slender of the long bones.
Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
Broad Ligament
Joint Diseases
'Joint diseases' is a broad term that refers to medical conditions causing inflammation, degeneration, or functional impairment in any part of a joint, including the cartilage, bone, ligament, tendon, or bursa, thereby affecting movement and potentially causing pain, stiffness, deformity, or reduced range of motion.
Metatarsophalangeal Joint
Tibia
Tensile Strength
Round Ligament
A fibromuscular band that attaches to the UTERUS and then passes along the BROAD LIGAMENT, out through the INGUINAL RING, and into the labium majus.
Hindlimb
Elbow
Region of the body immediately surrounding and including the ELBOW JOINT.
Reconstructive Surgical Procedures
Lateral Ligament, Ankle
Cicatrix
The fibrous tissue that replaces normal tissue during the process of WOUND HEALING.
Osteoarthritis, Knee
Noninflammatory degenerative disease of the knee joint consisting of three large categories: conditions that block normal synchronous movement, conditions that produce abnormal pathways of motion, and conditions that cause stress concentration resulting in changes to articular cartilage. (Crenshaw, Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics, 8th ed, p2019)
Cartilage, Articular
Spiral Ligament of Cochlea
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee
Replacement of the knee joint.
Knee Prosthesis
Replacement for a knee joint.
Rabbits
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Osteoarthritis
A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
