Two long bones, known as the tibia and fibula, make up the legs. The tibia is the larger bone and is more commonly known as the shinbone. “Tibia” is Latin, meaning bone flute and shinbone. Flutes were once made from the tibia of animals. The fibula runs parallel to the tibia. "...
Stress fractures about the knee, especially the proximal tibia, are not uncommon and occasionally show a dense line of compacted trabeculae but may require a radionuclide bone scan or MRI to document. Femorotibial dislocations are rare. These can be anterior or posterior, and are often associated...
It illustrates the structural basis for bisphosphonate treatment of bone metastasis, Paget's disease, osteoporosis, and other diseases. (Bone images courtesy of Dr. Jürg A. Gasser, Novartis Pharma AG). For more details, see the full paper by J.-M. Rondeau, W. Jahnke, et al. on p....
you’ve seen at least a few slides of this. But you won’t have seen all of them before, because a good number of them didn’t exist; this is sort of a Frankenstein stitched together from previous talks, new observations, and trying tothink about the future. In ...
long smooth stride. The radius bone in humans runs between the elbow and wrist joints. Any bones below the forearm on a horse are essentially equivalent to the bones of the hands and feet of humans. All living horses stand on the equivalent of the third digit of a human's hands and ...
AMNH 222, Como Bluff: right scapula, 10th dorsal vertebra, right femur and tibia. GREEN (Visitors to AMNH: you can see the rest of AMNH 222 under the feet of the hunched-over Allosaurus) AMNH 339, Bone Cabin Quarry: 20th to 40th caudal vertebrae. LIGHT BLUE AMNH 592, Bone Cabin Quarry...
She put in another plate where the fibula was and then a metal rod through the tibia. I was so grateful that not only am I no longer deformed, but I could walk. I actually thought it was some kind of miracle that, after all I went through, I could walk. ...
Histological study of a subcutaneous nodule demonstrated fat necrosis. X-ray examination revealed numerous lytic lesions involving cancellous and cortical bone in phalanges, metacarpals, radius, tibia, tarsus and metatarsals, with areas of widened bone.The patient never referred any abdominal symptom. ...
A tibia and a fibula. This is where it gets a little weird. I measured the other fibula, not on display, as being 116cm long. That sounds big, but it’s only a few cm larger than the fibulae of CM 3018 or AMNH 6341. So either Jimbo was unusually short-legged for the size of ...
fat club on the end of it. The next time I’m down in the NHM collections I need to have a careful look at this and check that someone hasn’t attached a chunk of tibia or something — but if this is legit, then what we have here is the one sauropod element I’ve ever seen ...
