What else can I help you with?
What does it mean when an MRI reports Intrasubstance high signal is seen within the anterior horn and body of the lateral meniscus?
Most likely a meniscus tear or possibly evidence of a previous surgery.
What are the differences between the medial and lateral meniscus?
Both the Medial and lateral menisci are outside the synovial cavity but within the joint cavity. The Medial meniscus is larger than the lateral meniscus. The Medial meniscus is C shaped where as the lateral mensicus is circular shaped. The Medial meniscus is directly attached to the medial collateral ligament, where as the Popliteal muscle interferes in between the attachment of lateral meniscus and lateral collateral ligament.
Which ligament at the knee protects it from lateral rotation?
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps to prevent the knee from excessive lateral (sideways) rotation. It provides stability by limiting the tibia's forward movement in relation to the femur.
What is a tear of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus?
Cartilage between the thighbone and shinbone is called the meniscus. This can tear when the knee is rotated or extended too far.
Is deltoid anterior posterior or both?
Anterior, posterior and lateral also.
Is the heart anterior or lateral to the sternum?

What is an intra substance tear of the lateral horn of the lateral meniscus and what should be done about it?
Had mri results; are advanced tricompartmental degenerative arthosis of the left knee with maceration of the anterior horn of the lateral with full thickness cartilage loss in all three compartments as described with moderate joint effusion, synovial proliferation from synovitis and rice body formation for patient having had remote pateliar tendon repair....dont understand
Is the lungs inferior Superior anterior posterior or lateral to the ribs?
the lungs are anterior to the ribs
Why is the medial meniscus more likely to be injured than the lateral meniscus?
The medial meniscus is more likely to be injured than the lateral meniscus due to its attachment to the medial collateral ligament (MCL), which restricts its mobility and makes it more susceptible to injury during twisting motions of the knee. Additionally, the medial meniscus has a C-shape that makes it more prone to tears, especially during activities that involve rapid changes in direction or weight-bearing. The lateral meniscus, being more mobile and less tethered to surrounding structures, often sustains fewer injuries.
What is hypokinesis of anterior and lateral apical walls?
apicolateral hypokinesia
What the other name for funiculi?
anterior, lateral and posterior funiculi
What are some examples of meniscus?
Examples of meniscus include the crescent-shaped cartilage discs located in the knee joints (lateral and medial meniscus), and the curved surface of water in a graduated cylinder due to surface tension.
