Femur

In our series of five patients, good functional outcome was achieved. One patient has minimal trauma to the head of the femur because of the injury because of trocar but there was no injury to labrum or any other complication. One of the main drawbacks of the study was the short follow-up. The hip arthroscopic procedure has a long learning curve, requiring specially designed…

ligament (ACL). This requires an extensive recovery and some athletes never fully recover. There is a lot that goes into an ACL injury and also its recovery. First of all, the ACL is a ligament in the knee. The knee joint is the articulation between the femur, patella, tibia, and fibula. The patella is the knee cap. There are many other ligaments that are present in the knee. The medial collateral and lateral collateral ligaments control medial and lateral stability of the knee as their…

frozen and it will defrost as they eat it. The most important rule with a bone is to match the bone to the size of the dog. A large dog may choke on a bone like a chicken neck as it tries to eat it in one gulp. A small dog will struggle with a beef femur or brisket bone as it’s jaw and teeth cannot break the bone or support the weight. Veterinarians suggest…

possible when the knee is flexed. This joint has intracapsular structures which add to its strength. Two ligaments cross each other in the centre of the knee joining the tibia to the femur. These are the cruciate ligaments. If you look at the shape of the articular surfaces, you will see that the rounded condyles of the femur sit on the flat surfaces on the condyles of the tibia. Two crescent-shaped cartilages act as wedges, deepening the surface of the tibia to receive the femoral condyles.…

A minor fall on the right hip caused the head of the femur to deteriorate, and the right leg was reported to be 5 cm shorter than the left leg. A biopsy was taken and two weeks later a prosthetic hip replacement was performed. The biopsy revealed an increased amount of osteoclasts which are bone cells that…

DOI: 11/5/2003. This is a case of a 72 -year-old male press operator who sustained a work-related injury from a fall. Operative report dated 05/03/2016 revealed that the patient underwent replacement with a 3 femur with a stem of a 15 x 150 using a 75mm tibial base with a stem of 10 x 90, both were cemented in place. The patient is subsequently diagnosed with failed total knee arthroplasty, left. As per medical report dated 8/4/16 by Dr. Gary Moscarello, the patient came in who feels…

afarensis, Au. africanus, and Au. sediba in possessing a calcaneus with a weakly developed peroneal trochlea; in femur part, in the femoral neck, Homo naledi has two well-defined, mediolaterally-running pillars which differentiate from all of other hominins that we known and discovered; and in tibia part, Homo naledi possessesa distinct tubercle for the pes anserinus…

work towards a specific function for the body. Although it might not be one of the most important muscles, the quadriceps muscles are a very important leg muscle that has a great impact on our lives. The quadricep femoris muscles cover most of the femur and is made up of four parts. These four parts include: vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedialis, and rectus femoris. The vastus medialis is on the inner side of the thigh, and makes up the shape of the inner leg. The vastus…

and not to think anything of it. My perspective changed when my middle brother, JohnStark, was diagnosed with cancer. Not knowing whether or not he was going to make it in the beginning, if they would have to amputee this leg, or finally remove the femur was a very hard process to watch someone that I love go through. The relationship I build with my brother throughout the years before cancer was based on having fun, someone to be there for, and keeping each other in line.…

I broke both my femurs, and probably not how you would expect someone to break they’re femurs. Every year, my whole family including my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents go to our lake cabin in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. I was about three years old this year and I was quite the little spunky child. We finally arrived to our cabin. I love this place! We have so many fun memories and experiences. I just wanted to go run around and play on everything. But, mom said “Cass, no. You need to…
