Morphology and Histology of Lower Limb Tendons and Ligaments in Primates.

Abstract

A histological and morphological study of two tendons and two ligaments of the lower limb from three primate species is described. Macro-and microscopic features were observed for the tendocalcaneus and flexor hallucis longus tendons and patellar and medial collateral ligaments of the rhesus monkey, baboon and chimpanzee. The histo-and morphological studies of lower limb ligaments and tendons in conjunction with mechanical studies provide information necessary to gain some insight into the mechanism of extremity injuries which have been observed in aircrewmen following ejection from high performance aircraft.
