Abstract

We present a preliminary study describing the flexor tendon anatomy of the ostrich foot with special emphasis on its eligibility for the biomechanical experiments carried out to test new suture designs. Feet obtained from three mature ostriches were dissected and the anatomic features were described. Four tendon specimens each with 25 cm of length and with comparable diameter to the human tendons were obtained from each foot.

Özet

Devekuşu ayağının fleksör tendon anatomisini tanımlayan ve özellikle yeni dikiş tekniklerini test etmekte kullanılan biyomekanik deneylere uygunluğunu vurgulayan bir ön çalışma sunuyoruz. Üç matür devekuşundan elde edilen ayaklar üzerinde diseksiyon yapılarak tendon anatomisi tanımlandı. Her ayaktan, uzunluğu 25 cm olan ve insan tendonlarıyla benzer çapta 4 tendon spesmeni elde edildi.
