One of the best known is the partial or complete rupture of the aponeurosis of the extensor tendon close to its insertion into the terminal phalanx--drop- or mallet-finger.
When rupture takes place through the belly of a muscle, the ends retract, the amount of retraction depending on the length of the muscle, and the extent of its attachment to adjacent aponeurosis or bone.

The insertion is by means of an aponeurosis that becomes tendonlike along the posteroventrolateral crista and the posteriormost part of the ventral edge of the lower mandible.
Also, there is insertion by an aponeurosis anterior to M.
The origin is fleshy from the dorsolateral surface of the palatine, anterior to the origin of pars medialis and the insertion is by means of an aponeurosis on the medial surface of the lower mandible, lateral to the insertion of M.
Pus forming under the aponeurosis is liable to spread widely, pointing above the eyebrow, in the occipital region, or in the line of the zygoma.
On account of the density of the integument and its close connection with the aponeurosis, scalp wounds do not gape unless the epicranial aponeurosis is widely divided.
The portion removed, as a rule, consists of integument and aponeurosis with portions of muscle attached.
Cellulitis beneath the aponeurosis from mixed infection is a dangerous complication.
The laceration of the aponeurosis of the quadriceps, the tilting of the fragments, and the interposition of the torn periosteum between them, can in no other way be rectified with certainty.
If the epicranial aponeurosis is divided, the "dangerous area" between it and the pericranium is opened, and if infection occurs, it may lead to widespread suppuration.
Poupart's ligament, 5, being the line of union between the oblique aponeurosis of the abdominal muscle and the fascia lata, merely overarches the femoral sheath, and does not separate it absolutely from the spermatic sheath.
The aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle occupies the whole of that space which I have marked as the inguinal triangle, B C D, Pl.
It connects theaponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, D d, Fig.
The internal jugular vein is for almost its entire length covered by the sterno-mastoid muscle, and by that layer of the cervical aponeurosis which lies between the vessels and the muscle.
By the removal of the superficial fascia and glands we expose the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, A a, Pl.
The direction of the fibres of the inguinal portion of the muscle, F E, is obliquely downwards and forwards, and here they are firmly overlaid by the aponeurosis of the external oblique.
But when the stricture is produced by either of the muscles which lie beneath the aponeurosis of the external oblique, it will be necessary to divide this part in order to expose and incise them.
At times, however, especially when its aponeurotic expansion is diseased, the necrosis of the perforans spreads until the aponeurosis is eaten through and the phalangeal sheath penetrated.
When necrosis of the plantaraponeurosis has occurred.
In consequence of the plantar aponeurosis being extensively necrosed, it was advisable to scrape the navicular bone and a part of the semilunar crest.
That the close attachment of the plantar aponeurosis to the navicular bursa, and the nearness of both to the pedal articulation, render penetration of a synovial sac or a joint cavity extremely likely.
Or it may be, of course, that it was in the plantar aponeurosis the disease commenced.
Pain and accompanying fever is most marked, much more so than when the plantar aponeurosis alone is injured.
When the plantar aponeurosis is injured, the pus escapes with difficulty and the wound shows no signs of healing; the whole foot is hot and very painful.
Aponeurosis and tendons are structures which serve for the termination of muscles and for their contention, and for the attachment of bones together.
It arises from the abdominal aponeurosis and the posterior part of the sternum; hence it passes forward, turns under the superficial pectoral, and is inserted into the lesser tuberosity (trochin) of the humerus.
It arises, in the horse, from the cervical border of the scapula, where it blends with the aponeurosis that envelops the subscapularis muscle, but in the pig and the ox it arises from the deep surface of the mastoido-humeral muscle.
In the pig, and especially in the horse, it passes further upwards, to arise from the aponeurosisof the coccygeal muscles.
In the horse it is attached to the angle of the lower jaw by a tendon, which an aponeurosis that passes under the parotid gland binds to the mastoido-humeral muscle and the mastoid process.
Sometimes it is inserted into the olecranon process, at other times into the antibrachial aponeurosis or the epitrochlea.
