Location and method: A 25-gauge, 5/8-inch needle is inserted below the level of the carpometacarpal joint adjacent to the dorsal surface of the deep digital flexor tendon to anesthetize medial and lateral palmar nerves. Desensitizes the medial and lateral palmar nerves and the medial and lateral palmar metacarpal nerves at the level of the carpometacarpal joint.A 20- to 22-gauge, 1.5-inch needle is inserted below the level of the carpometacarpal bone along the palmar aspect of the second and fourth metacarpal bones directed dorsally towards the palmar aspect of the third metacarpal bone to anesthetize the medial and lateral palmar metacarpal nerves. Desensitizes the deep and superficial flexor tendons, second and fourth metacarpal bones, and the proximal aspect of the suspensory ligament.

The penis is supported by the suspensory ligament of the penis.Formed by the attachment of the fibrous Buck’s fascia to the pubic symphysis.The fundiform ligament lies superficial to the suspensory ligament.This is an extension of the linea alba of the abdominal wall Scarpa’s fascia.Slings around the penis to support it.Continues inferiorly to form the scrotal septum.

The thyroid is a U-shaped or horseshoe-shaped gland with a superior concavity. It is formed by two sides, or lobes, on the right and left, and connected by a median isthmus that overlays the cricoid cartilage of the larynx, extending downward to the first two tracheal rings. It is covered with an inner fibrous layer and outer perithyroid sheath, part of the superficial fascia of the neck. This fascia is particularly dense and must be removed with a scalpel. Continue the dissection superiorly until reaching the perithyroid sheath that is attached directly to the gland, along with the thyroid and cricoid laryngeal cartilage and the first tracheal rings. This strip of tissue is referred to as the median ligament with the right and left suspensory ligaments lying on each (see in detail Figure 2.59).
Management of subluxed and dislocated intraocular lenses in patients with uveitis: a practical approach

The causes of IOL and capsule dislocation are unknown. However, it is possible that zonular damage may occur progressively during chronic uveitis. Collagen IV is an essential component of the suspensory ligament, providing a coating to individual fibers which acts as a barrier to macromolecules,15 potentially including damaging pro-inflammatory cytokines. Collagenase IV is known to be present in endotoxin-induced uveitis16, and if also present in human uveitis, progressive enzymatic removal of the protective coating of zonular fibers may permit weakening of the core fibrillin and subsequent dehiscence. In a small number of patients, capsulorrhexis stenosis and radial traction on zonules may occur (though this was not seen clinically in any of our patients). The tangential forces induced by haptics differ between IOLs, the older 3-piece acrylic IOLs (now largely replaced by one-piece acrylic) possibly being more likely to induce zonular damage in the long term.

There are two main ligaments that attach to the ovary, the suspensory ligament and the ovarian ligament. The suspensory ligament of the ovary is a fold of peritoneum extending out from the ovary to the pelvic sidewall, and transmitting the ovarian vein and artery. The visualisation of the suspensory ligament leading to a pelvic mass is a sign highly indicative of the ovarian origin of a mass. This ligament may be detected at CT as a short and narrow, linear or fan-shaped soft-tissue band that widens as it approaches the ovary (Figures 3(a) and 4). The ovarian ligament is a fibrous structure, connecting the ovary to the lateral surface of the uterus. This ligament is occasionally seen at CT as a short and narrow soft-tissue band between the uterus and ovary (Saksouk and Johnson 2004; Forstner 2019).

A motion capture system (MOCAP) (Vicon, Oxford Metrics Ltd, Oxford, UK), gold standard in motion biomechanics, was used to track horse limbs’ 3D displacements. 18 cameras (T160 Vicon) were set up on both sides of a high-speed treadmill. 5 horses were equipped with 35 reflective kinematic markers on specific anatomical points (Figure 1A). A layer of 37 small markers (half-spheres of 3 mm) was also placed on the surface of the flexor tendons and the suspensory ligament of the right forelimb (Figure 1B), areas of predisposition to locomotor lesions. In this paper we will focus on the markers of the right forelimb. Two IMUs (ProMove-mini, Inertia Technology BV, Enschede, The Netherlands) were also positioned on the distal limb of the horse, one in the center of the third metacarpal bone on the dorsal side and the second in the center of the first phalanx also on the dorsal side of the limb. Three speeds were predefined (walk at 1.5 m/s, trot at 4 m/s and trot at 6 m/s) and each horse made three trials at each speed. An average of 25 strides were recorded at steady speed for each trial. For each stride, stance/stride ratio (SSR) and protraction/retraction (PR) amplitude of the limb during stance phase are calculated from MOCAP and IMU. Lateral and longitudinal tendon deformities are also measured at each stride from the markers layer.
