This article examines basic tendon biomechanics, the anatomy and mechanics of digital flexor tendons, and the digital flexor pulley system. It also explores the various models that have tried to simulate the motion of the flexor tendons and several testing modalities that have been used. Finally, clinical applications are considered, including the biomechanics of flexor tendon repairs and tendon transfers. As we reach limits in the care of flexor tendon injuries, research into molecular, biochemical, and micromechanical methods of tendon repair will become the forefront of future investigation.
本文探讨了肌腱的基本生物力学、指屈肌腱的解剖学和力学,以及指屈肌滑车系统。还探讨了尝试模拟屈肌腱运动的各种模型以及所使用的几种测试方式。最后,考虑了临床应用,包括屈肌腱修复和肌腱转位的生物力学。随着我们在屈肌腱损伤治疗方面达到极限,对肌腱修复的分子、生化和微观力学方法的研究将成为未来研究的前沿。
