Physical activity and its influence on the repair process of medial collateral ligaments.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether alterations in physical activity would modify the repair process of ligaments as evaluated by tissue DNA, collagen synthesis, and tensile strength. Compared to immobilization, progressive exercise markedly enhanced the healing process by inducing a more rapid return of tissue DNA, collagen synthesis, and separation force to within "normal" limits. Exercise also significantly increased wet and dry weights of repaired ligaments whereas immobilization markedly decreased these measurements because of the change in total collagen content. However, it remains uncertain whether progressive exercise can cause a shift in the equilibrium rates between collagen synthesis and collagen degradation.

[Organogenetic analysis of the variation of insertions of the fibular collateral ligament and the biceps muscle at the knee].

Concerning a displacement in distal direction of the insertions of the ligamentum collaterale fibulare and of the tendo musculi bicipitis femoris on the superior epiphysis of the fibula, the authors describe in detail and in millimetrical scale the permanent existence of bundles, additionnal to the main insertions known up to now, and of a sheath envelopping the ligament. The study of the organogenesis of these formations, followed by their dissection at an adult stage allow to estimate the genetical, mechanical, and constitutional factors explaining the usual variations of these structures.
