“…Several technical considerations affected this study. The thickness of CT scanning is 0.65–1 mm in most of the in vivo studies (Chen et al, 2014, 2015a, 2015b, 2015c, 2016; Tan et al, 2011; Tan et al, 2014; Tang et al, 2011; Xu and Tang, 2009). In our study, we collected CT images with scans using 1 mm slices, which is a common resolution.…”

“…In vivo three-dimensional image reconstruction has been used to study ligament length changes (Brigstocke et al, 2014; Chen et al, 2014, 2015a, 2015b; Crisco et al, 2005; Garcia-Elias et al, 2014; Moritomo et al, 2008; Tang et al, 2011). The reliability and accuracy of the technique are accepted widely (Chen et al, 2014, 2015a, 2015b; Tan et al, 2011, 2014; Tang et al, 2011; Xu and Tang, 2009). The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in length of each portion of the collateral ligaments of the MP joint during flexion.…”

We investigated the in vivo length changes of the collateral ligaments of metacarpophalangeal joint during flexion. We obtained computed tomography scans of index, middle, ring and little fingers at 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° of joint flexion from six hands of six healthy adult volunteers. Three of them had their dominant right hand studied, and the other three had their non-dominant left hand studied. We measured and analysed the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of each metacarpophalangeal joint from the reconstructed images. We found that the dorsal and middle portions of the both radial and ulnar collateral ligament lengthened progressively during digital flexion and reached the maximum at 90° flexion. The length of the volar portion increased from 0° to 30° flexion and then decreased from 30° to 60° flexion, reaching the minimum at 90°. In conclusion, three portions of collateral ligaments on both sides of the metacarpophalangeal joint have variable length changes during flexion, which act to stabilize the joint through its flexion arc.

How does wrist position affect the length of the distal radioulnar ligament: a three-dimensional image study in vivo?

et al. 2015

The factor of hyperextension has little effect on the length of the distal radioulnar ligament and the distal radioulnar ligament may be under great tension at the position of hyperextension with maximal pronation. These findings can provide more information to understand the pathomechanics of the triangular fibrocartilage complex injury caused by a fall on the outstretched hand and can provide information relevant to the distal radioulnar ligament restoration.

Length changes of scapholunate interosseous ligament at different wrist positions: an in vivo 3-dimension image study

Abstract: The lengths of the volar and proximal regions of SLIL increase substantially at wrist full extension, but only slightly at maximal forearm pronation. Clinically, wrist full extension may make the SLIL ligament vulnerable to disruption.
