The term mesentery is used for the small intestine; and mesenteric organ is sometimes used to refer to the rest of the mesentery that incorporates the mesocolon, mesoappendix, mesosigmoid and mesorectum. It has been proposed for reclassification as an organ due to research at the University of Limerick in the 2010s.
Tibial Tubercle Avulsion Fracture. Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures occur when the tendon between the kneecap and shinbone (patellar tendon) causes a complete or incomplete break of the shinbone just below the knee joint (tibial tubercle). The tibial tubercle is where the tendon of the thigh muscle (quadriceps) attaches.
2. At its proximal end, the tibia joins with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. The lateral tibial condyle also articulates with the head of the fibula to form the superior tibiofibular joint.. (Tuberositas tibiae) - a raised, roughened area on the anterior surface of the bone just inferior to the condyles. This area is also called is the tuberosity of the tibia. It is an attachment point for the patellar ligament, which serves as the distal tendon of the quadriceps muscle group.
