The scarcest of the Confederate produced Alabama Buttons. Most often encountered in Army of Tennessee camps and battle sites. This one was found near Utoy Creek, GA. My pictures donât do this button justice as it looks way better in hand.
Intra-articular loose bodies are chondral, osseous, or osteochondral fragments located in the articular cavity. They derive from the internal surfaces of synovial joints including bone surfaces covered by hyaline cartilage and capsule lined by the synovial membrane.he ability of US to diagnose intra-articular loose bodies greatly depends on a high degree of suspicion of the examiner, related to the knowledge of radiographic and clinical findings. Nowadays, radiography is still the modality of choice when a loose body is suspected on clinical grounds.
Intramuscular (IM) injections deposit medication deeply into vascular muscle tissue, thus allowing rapid absorption. The deltoid, vastus lateralis, and ventrogluteal muscles are acceptable sites for IM injections. Previously, the dorsogluteal site was widely accepted and used, but current evidence has demonstrated that it is not acceptable due to its high risk for injury. When preparing to give an IM injection, examine the site to determine that there is adequate muscle tissue. Avoid any areas with lesions, trauma, inflammation, or bony prominences. To prevent tissue damage, rotate IM injection sites when injections are regularly scheduled.
