We start by looking at the features of each element of knee joint anatomy and then we will go on to look at the common problems that can develop with each of the different components of the anatomy of the knee. 1. Knee Bone Anatomy ...
The lower leg, or just “leg” in anatomical terms, is the part of the lower limb between the knee and the ankle joint.
Chinese Journal Of Clinical Anatomy 2013, 31 (1): 19-21. Abstract (695) Save Objective To investigate the origin and distribution of the nerves to adult female nipples and areola area and provide guidance to clinical practice so that sensation around the nipple-areolar complex can be maximal...
In order to reconstruct the medial knee to restore the original biomechanical function of its ligamentous structures, a thorough understanding of its anatomic placement and relationship with surrounding structures is required. To restore the knee to normal kinematics, the diagnosis and surgical approach ...
The "femoral region" is appropriately named, as this region surrounds the femur or thigh bone. The area extends between the femur's proximal articulation with the pelvis at the hip joint and distal articulation with the tibia and patella at the knee joint.[3] ...
Hinge joints provide a forward and backward motion, as at the elbow and knee. Pivot joints permit rotary movement, like the turning of the head from side to side. Ball-and-socket joints, like those at the hip and shoulder, allow the greatest range of movement, as the rounded end of ...
Its most distal fibers, which were attached to the medial and lateral supracondylar tuberosity, were in close contact to the fibrous capsule of the knee joint (Figure 5a). Figure 11. Deepest layers in the medial aspect of the thigh. The adductor magnus and adductor minimus muscles are ...
Ankle Joint: The ankle joint allows the up and down motion of the ankle Subtalar Joint: the subtalar joint allows the side to side movement. The four foot bones in the hindfoot are the:1. Tibia The tibia is the long bone at the front of the shin that runs down from the knee. It ...
functions of synovial fluid lubrication, nutrient distribution, shock absorption Cartilages and fat pads intervene between opposing articular surfaces, found in complex joints like the knee menisci crescent-shaped discs of fibrocartilage that separate and cushion the articulating surfaces of bones ...
The importance of understanding the intricate anatomy of the knee joint cannot be overstated. As one of the most crucial weight-bearing joints in the human body, the knee plays a pivotal role in our mobility, stability, and overall quality of life. The knee joint is a true marvel of engine...
