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.
On the anterior surface of the proximal tibia, inferior to the condyles, the tibial tuberosity is situated. This is where the patella ligament attaches. Â© 2015 TeachMeAnatomy.com [CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0]. Fig 1.1 â The tibial plateau.t expands at the proximal and distal ends, articulating at the knee and ankle joints respectively. It is the second largest bone in the body, this is due to its function as a weight bearing structure.
