Clinically-relevant features of each bone a. Distal femur – The medial and lateral femoral condyles articulate with the tibia, and the femoral trochlea articulates with the patella. The femoral condyles are separated by a notch called the intercondyloid fossa. b. Proximal tibia – The articular surface is divided into medial and lateral condyles to correspond with those of the femur, separated b...

Objectives: This study aims to determine the differences between genders by measuring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) related bony structures on femur and tibia which are belongs same individuals. To best our knowledge, with ACL of have never been investigated combined dry bones in literature. Materials Methods: The included 219 [108 femurs (74 male/34 female) / 111 tibias (72 male/39 female)]...

INTRODUCTION Mucoid degeneration and Ganglion cysts arising from the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) of the knee are rare. The aetiology, clinical features and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of PCL mucoid degeneration and intercondylar ganglion cyst are discussed. CASE REPORT We present a 36 year-old male patient who presented with chronic right knee pain for the duration of 5-...

1 T he reconstruction of subcondylar bone defects affecting joint stability and range of motion (ROM) can pose a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon, especially when restoration of fine movements of the hand is required. When rapid bone union is required, free vas-cularized bone transfer may be preferable over nonvascu-larized bone grafts. 1 We present a case of free vascularized bone trans...

In this study changes in intercondylar width (ICW) and intercondylar angle (ICA) that occurred with rigid fixation after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy and mandibular advancement are documented and correlated with temporomandibular (TM) symptoms, magnitude of advancement, and mandibular shape. Even though individual changes occurred, there was no significant difference between the mean preo...

OBJECTIVES To examine objectively spatial patterns of osteophytes around the distal end of the femur and to identify distinct subgroups. METHODS A sample of 107 human femora from a large skeletal population were selected for study. These femora included subjects with evidence of late stage osteoarthritis (that is, with eburnation present) and those with no such evidence. The location of osteo...

The tibial resection depth during total knee arthroplasty for valgus knees has been variously described and not standardized yet. Accordingly, it proposed in this article, that the sulcus between medial lateral intercondylar tubercles can be used as a reference point depth. performed 8 to 9 mm distal sulcus.
