Nothing. The bone has been starved of blood and oxygen and is now dead. You may be able to have some sort of joint replacement if it is deemed serious enough.

The medial condyle of the femur articulates with the medial condyle of the?

tibia at the knee joint. This articulation plays a significant role in knee flexion and extension movements, as well as providing stability to the joint. The articulation between the medial condyles of the femur and tibia is essential for weight-bearing activities and overall lower limb function.


Is the Tibial collateral ligament joined to the joint capsule?

The tibial collateral ligament is also known as the medial collateral ligament and is joint proximally to the Medial Condyle of the femur and distally to the body of the tibia a little bit below the condyle level. No


Processes on the femur and tibia that form the knee joint?

The femur has two processes that help form the knee joint: the lateral and medial condyles. These articulate with the corresponding condyles of the tibia, which are referred to as the lateral and medial tibial plateaus. Together, these processes form the main components of the knee joint.


What is a Medial femoral condyle subarticular cyst?

A cyst is an unusual or abnormal structure consisting of an endothelial lining around a collection of harmless fluid. Subarticular means it is below the surface of the joint, in the bone rather than actually in the joint space. The medial femoral condyle is the projection of the end of the femur bone on the inside of the leg in the knee joint.


What are the 4 parts of the femur?

There are actually 9 parts in the femur and the knee. So you might think "hey i don't need the knee" but its important. the parts are the Medial Condyle, interconylar Fossa, Lateral Condyle, Lateral Epicondyle, Tibia, Fibula, Patella, Adducter Tubercle, and the Tibial Tuberosity.

How do you differentiate medial and lateral condyle of femur bone without marker?

If you are viewing the entire bone, you can differentiate the medial and lateral condyles by noting that the medial condyle is on the side with the head of the femur, and the lateral is on the side with the greater trochanter. If you have only the distal end of the femur available, then you can differentiate the condyles by noting that the medial condyle is longer and the lateral condyle is wider.

What muscles are used in hip medial rotation?

Knee Rotation:- as extension progresses, shorter, more highly curved lateral condyle exhausts its articular surface andis checked by ACL, whereas larger and less curved medial condyle continues its forwardroll & skids backward, assisted by tightening of PCL;- result is a medial rotation of femur (external tibial rotation) that tightens collateral ligaments, & joint is "screwed home",to use mechanical phraseology;- flexion of extended knee is preceded by lateral rotation of femur (or medial rotation of tibia), usually produced by popliteus;- this rotation relaxes the tension of the collateral ligaments sufficiently to permit flexion;


What function does the tibia serve?

The Tibia serves as an articular surface for lateral condyle of the femur

Where are Medial and lateral condyles of the femur involved at?

The medial and lateral condyles of the femur are involved in articulating with the tibia to form the knee joint. They help to stabilize the knee joint and assist in weight-bearing and movement of the lower limb.


What ligament is on the knee area posterior side of femur on tibia?

Four ligaments are present in the knee joint, the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament. The medial collateral ligament is located at the inside of the knee joint. It extends from the medial femoral epicondyle to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament is located at the outside of the knee joint. It extends from the lateral femoral epicondyle to the head of the fibula. The anterior cruciate ligament extends posterolaterally from the tibia and inserts on the lateral femoral condyle. The posterior cruciate ligament extends anteromedially from the tibia posterior to the medial femoral condyle.


Is the greater trochanter a lateral or a medial structure of the femur?

The greater trochanter is a lateral structure of the femur.
