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.
The tibial tuberosity is the bony protrusion at the top of the tibia bone in the lower leg. It is located just underneath the kneecap and can be easily felt with the hand.-ray of a human knee, where both the tibia and kneecap can be seen clearly. Physical therapy may be needed to treat tibial tuberosity. Sports such as tennis can be rough on the knees. Acute injuries tend to benefit most from applying ice while chronic injuries are often helped by heat.
