Tibia Essays

Robert Bayley Osgood was a professor of orthopedic surgery and chief of staff of the orthopedic department in a Boston hospital. He published texts on orthopedic surgery and was an author of a 1909 monograph on diseases in the bones. In 1903 he spoke on the painful lesions of the tibial tuberosity in children and adolescents. Carl Schlatter, a Swiss surgeon was a professor of surgery at Zurich. Schlatter is known for performing the first successful total gastrectomy in 1897. He also published in

Shinbone also called as tibia. Tibia is named for the Greek ‘’aulos’’ a flute that also know as tibia. Tibia is the most common fractured bone in our body and it is the second largest bone next to femur and commonly known as the strongest weight bearing bone of the body. Tibia is classified as a long bone and made out of diaphysis and epiphyses. The diaphysis is the midsection of the tibia while the epiphyses are the 2 rounded edge of the bone. The tibia gather its arterial blood supply from two

Elizabeth Bishop, the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet, arrived on the island of North Haven on the morning boat from Rockland on July 16, 1974. “It was a beautiful day . . . ” She was accompanied by Frank Bidart, a younger poet, and Alice Methfessel, her companion and lover, the energetic and very capable administrator of Kirkland House at Harvard. Elizabeth had returned to New England four years earlier following the death, apparently by suicide, of her Brazilian lover, Lolta de Macedo Soares, the

long until you can’t take it anymore. Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a common cause of knee pain in growing adolescents. It is an inflammation of the area just below the knee where the tendon from the kneecap (patellar tendon) attaches to the shinbone (tibia). It occurs when your bones, tendons, muscles are growing rapidly than what they should. It’s a common disease for athletes. It all started when I was in fourth grade. I’m 19 now, and I’ve had this disease for ten years now. I told my parents that

outside of the knee. The thinner, outside bone is the fibula. The larger bone is the tibia. This condition occurs when the top (head) of the fibula separates from the tibia. This type of dislocation happens when a great deal of force is applied to a bent knee. There are four types of proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation: • Type I is an incomplete dislocation (subluxation). • Type II is dislocation of the tibia in a forward and outward direction. This is the most common type. • Type III is

Tibial Plateau Fracture Treated With Open Reduction A tibial plateau fracture is a break in the bone that forms the bottom of your knee joint (tibia or shinbone). The lower end of your thighbone (femur) forms the upper surface of your knee joint. The top of the tibia has a flat, smooth surface (tibial plateau). This part of your shinbone is made up of softer bone than the shaft of your shinbone. If a strong force drives your femur down into your tibial plateau, it can cause the tibial plateau to

is to obtain union of the fracture in the most compatible anatomical position which allows maximal and full restoration of the extremity. Distal tibia fractures are primarily located within a square based on the width of the distal tibia1.On the basis of the fracture location in the bone, distal tibia fractures have the second highest incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle fracture of tibia2. The management of these fractures is often more complex than the diaphyseal fractures because of

American authors have been using details in their stories for many years. In both Mark Twain and Sarah Orne Jewett story they both used very vidid details in their writing this was a wildly popular way to connect with the audience in this time period and still is used in most stories today. At the time these stories were written many authors were writhing in a European style so this attract many people to read their stories since it was different from what they have been reading. Using details

Patellar Tendon Tear With Rehab A patellar tendon tear, also called a patellar tendon rupture, is a tear in the thick band of tissue that connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). The condition can make it hard or impossible to straighten the leg. CAUSES This condition can be caused by: A blow to the front of the knee. Falling on your knee. A deep cut under the patella Landing on your foot with your knee bent after a high jump or fall. Activity-related wear

INTRODUCTION Shaft of tibia fractures are the third most common paediatric long bone fractures (15 %) after forearm and Femur fractures. 1,2,3 The prevalence of paediatric tibia fractures is on a rise since 1950. 4 Average age of presentation is 8 years. Bicycle spoke injury causing tibia fractures occur almost exclusively in children 1-4 years of age . Most tibial fractures in children 4-14 years of age are a result of road traffic accidents or while playing. Ipsilateral Fibula fractures are associated

Anatomy of meniscus tear Description -3 bones meet to form knee joint: your thighbone (femur), shinbone (tibia), and kneecap (patella). -2 wedge-shaped pieces of cartilage act as "shock absorbers" between thighbone and shinbone. These are called meniscus. They are tough and rubbery to help cushion the joint and keep it stable. (Left) Bucket handle tear. (Right) Flap tear (Left) Radial tear. (Right) Degenerative tear Menisci tear in different ways. Tears

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) involves the parameter of the distal femur size and proximal tibia size. An accurate of measurements can improve the physiology function of knee after implant and the tissue surrounding the knee. Most of the prosthesis size commercially is following Western measurement therefore the accuracy of having prosthesis for Asian is low compare to others. The probability of mismatch of prosthesis is high in Asian population. A good prosthesis shown the significant in pain relief

structures. Talocrural joint The ankle, or talocrural joint, is a modified-hinge, uniaxial joint formed by the medial malleolus of the tibia, the talus and the lateral malleolus of the fibula. Specifically, the convexsuperior articular surface of the talus or trochlea articulates with the concave distal articular facet of the tibia. The medial malleolus articulates with the medial aspect of the trochlea whereas the lateral malleolus articulates with the lateral aspect of the trochlea

structures. Talocrural and Subtalar Joints The ankle, or talocrural joint, is a modified-hinge, uniaxial joint formed by the medial malleolus of the tibia, the talus and the lateral malleolus of the fibula. Specifically, the convex superior articular surface of the talus or trochlea articulates with the concave distal articular facet of the tibia. The medial malleolus articulates with the medial aspect of the trochlea whereas the lateral malleolus articulates with the lateral aspect of the trochlea

artery enters the shaft of long bone through Nutrient foramen and it traverses obliquely through the canal in the shaft. In tibia, nutrient foramen is directed towards distal end (Figure-1). It will supply the inner half of the cortex, metaphysis and the medullary cavity in the shaft of long bone. The tibia is weight bearing strong medial bone of the leg. Nutrient artery of tibia arises from either posterior tibial artery, anterior tibial artery or its branches at the level of the popliteal bifurcation

While lifting onto the toes during backwards marching many muscles are used. The flexor digitorum longus is a muscle in the leg that extends from the posterior surface of the tibia to the foot, and assists the leg in plantar flexion of the foot. Originating in the lateral condyle of the tibia and the head and shaft of the fibula, and has an insertion of the tarsal and metatarsal bones. The flexor digitorum longus divides into four parts upon insertion, connecting to the terminal bones of the four

The hip is a true ball and socket joint and the arrangement gives the hip the large amount of motion needed for daily activities like walking, squatting and stair climbing. The bones that form the hips are the femur or far bone and pelvis. The top of the femur shape like a ball called femoral head that fits into a round socket on the side of the pelvis. This socket is named as acetabulum. The femoral head is attached to the rest of the femur by a short section of a bone called femoral neck. A large

The Patellofemoral and knee joints would be open, but she has small bone spurs projecting from the patella, going posteriorly towards the femur and superiorly from the tibia towards the femur. The patient is under rotated because the lateral condyle is not completely superimposed over the medial condyle of the femur. The medial condyle is the one that appears “smaller” because it is closest to the image receptor. The lateral

REVIEW OF LITRATURE ANATOMY OF KNEE JOINT The embryological development of knee joint occurs from the leg bud in the 4th week. The formation of femur, tibia and fibula occurs in the 6th week. The knee joint embryologically arises from blastemal cells with the formation of the patella, cruciate ligaments and meniscus in the 7th week.22 Knee joint is formed by two condylar joints between the femoral condyles

1: A tibial-fibular fracture is a fracture that not only includes the tibia, it also includes a fracture of the fibula located in the lower leg. 2: Nicole’s fracture is more likely to become infected due to the type of fracture that it is. The type of fracture that Nicole has is a compound fracture and with that, it’s piercing the skin. Due to the bacteria that is located on the skin it would be more susceptible to infection. 3: I believe they would look at the hyaline cartilage as it is the one
