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.
An avulsion fracture is clinically defined as a bone injury occurring in a location where a tendon or ligament attaches to a bone. Although it can happen anywhere in the body, this injury commonly occurs in a few particular locations [1]. In an avulsion fracture, a part of the cortical bone is removed from the bone by the attaching tendon.
