Tibia

Fibula- it is a long bone in the lower leg. It runs parallel to the shinbone (tibia). Its plays a role of stabilizing the ankle and also supporting the muscles of the lower leg. http://www.innerbody.com/image_skelfov/skel27_new.html Tibia- it is a large bone located in the lower front leg. It is also known as the shinbone and is the second largest bone in the body. http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/tibia-bone Carpals- they are 8 small bones that are together to make up the wrist and connects

Tibial Plateau Fracture With Rehab A tibial plateau fracture is a break in the top of the bone that forms the bottom of the knee joint (tibia or shin bone). The lower end of the thigh bone (femur) forms the upper surface of the knee joint. The top of the tibia has a flat, smooth surface (tibial plateau). This part of the shin bone is made of softer bone than the end of the femur bone. If a strong force pushes the femur down into the tibial plateau, the tibial plateau can collapse or break away at

and did not have any other health conditions or comorbidities that would impact this surgery or any other activities of daily living. The Pathophysiology The knee is a hinge joint which is needed for movement. The joint is made by the femur and the tibia, and also contains the patella which acts as a shield for the joint. In knees with osteoarthritis, the cartilage on the ends of the bones deteriorates, causing the bones to rub against each other. X-rays can be used for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis;

Genu Valgum, commonly referred to as Knock Knees, can be described as the inside of a person’s knees touching. In scientific terminology, the knee is misaligned with its mechanical axis (Prodyut, D n.d; Hatch, 2017) Children’s General Practitioner Dr Chris Teh in an interview (Teh, 2017) described the condition as ‘’two growth plates, the inner one of which pushes more than the outer one causing the knee to slant in, whilst the outer plate tries to play catch up’’. It is classified as a normal part

The majority of knee movements occur between the femur, patella, and tibia. Covering the bones is the articular cartilage. It is a hard and slippery substance that allows the knee glide smoothly and to reduce friction as the knee is moved. Between the femur and tibia is where one would find the meniscus. There are two menisci in the knee; one medially and one laterally. The meniscus serves as a shock absorber of the

My skin soaking up the sun, the water splashing at my face, and the constant wind in my hair are my favorite little things while on the boat at my lake house. As I sit on the boat I take in every stress free moment it offers to me. My lake house is on Shafer Lake, which is right in the middle of a small town Monon, Indiana. Aside from living in Italy, this is where I picture my life after retirement. “Lake time is always a great time.” Dad says. “Lake time is always a great time.” My little brother

It has also been applied in cats. The canine CCL is a band of tough fibrous tissue that attaches the femur to the tibia. It is attached to the interdylar notch of the tibia at one end and the caudomedial part of the lateral femoral condyle at the other end. It keeps the tibia from sliding cranially beneath the femur when the limb bears weight. It also limits medial rotation of the tibia when the stifle is flexed [1]. These help to prevent the stifle joint from over – extending or rotating. The rupture

by intermuscular septa, which are the fibrous connective-tissue layers that partition muscle groups in the arms and legs. The fascia lata is condensed at its lateral side where it creates an iliotibial tract, which is a structure that runs to the tibia and

while attached to the patella ligament. It is helpful to know if the trochlear groove is too shallow, if there is a weak or stretched media/ lateral patellar ligament or if the lower attachment of the patellar ligament is too far to the inside of the tibia known as “medial patellar luxation”. (Nunamaker, 2016). Often with patellar luxation, the trochlear groove does not develop enough depth and in return is unable to allow the patella to move around correctly. (Patellar Luxation,

condyle and the tibia, superior and posterior to the pes anserine. The LCL and the MCL work together to stabilize the knee during flexion and extension, preventing it from bending laterally and medially, respectively. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) attaches to the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia and the posterior intercondylar area of the femur to prevent displacement of the femur. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) attaches to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia and the anterior
