Osborne's ligament, also Osborne's band, Osborne's fascia, Osborne's arcade, arcuate ligament of Osborne, or the cubital tunnel retinaculum, refers to either the connective tissue which spans the humeral and ulnar heads of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) or another distinct tissue located between the olecranon process of the ulna and the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
Between these two bands a few intermediate fibers descend from the medial epicondyle to blend with a transverse band which bridges across the notch between the olecranon and the coronoid process. This ligament is in relation with the triceps brachii and flexor carpi ulnaris and the ulnar nerve , and gives origin to part of the flexor digitorum ...
repair of the Glenoid labrum (anterior or posterior) [1] In some cases, arthroscopic surgery is not enough to fix the injured shoulder. When the shoulder dislocates too many times and is worn down, the ball and socket are not lined up correctly. The socket is worn down and the ball will never sit in it the same.
The coracoacromial ligament may impinge and compress rotator cuff muscle or tendon. [3] It may be damaged during a shoulder injury. [4] The attachment of the coracoacromial ligament may be moved from acromion to the end of the clavicle when reconstructing the acromioclavicular joint. [5] [6] This often fails. [5]
conjoint tendon of shoulder i.e short head of the biceps and coracobrachialis, acting as a sling on the subscapularis and capsule with the arm abducted and externally rotated; increasing or restoring the glenoid bone; and; repair of the capsule to the stump of coracoacromial ligament. [2]
The medial epicondyle gives attachment to the ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint, to the pronator teres, and to a common tendon of origin (the common flexor tendon) of some of the flexor muscles of the forearm: the flexor carpi radialis, the flexor carpi ulnaris, the flexor digitorum superficialis, and the palmaris longus. The medial ...
A harvested tendon, such as the palmaris tendon [11] from the forearm of the same or opposite elbow, the patellar tendon, hamstring, toe extensor or a donor's tendon , is then woven in a figure-eight pattern through the holes and anchored. [10] The ulnar nerve is usually moved to prevent pain, as scar tissue can apply pressure to the nerve. [11]
The fibers converge to a single tendon to insert onto the olecranon process of the ulna (though some research indicates that there may be more than one tendon) [5] and to the posterior wall of the capsule of the elbow joint where bursae (cushion sacks) are often found.
