A tibial crest transplant is a surgical procedure that involves the transfer of bone from the tibial crest, which is the prominent ridge on the tibia (shinbone), to repair or reconstruct damaged areas in the knee or other parts of the body. This technique is often used in orthopedic surgeries, particularly in cases of bone defects, fractures, or joint reconstruction. The transplant helps restore the structural integrity and functionality of the affected area. Recovery typically involves rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility.
What else can I help you with?
What is the common name for tibial crest?
The common name for the tibial crest is the shinbone.
What is an anterior crest?
Anterior means "front" portion of the body. A crest is a prominent ridge. For example if you will search for a pelvic bone, you will see that the illium has a "crest." This crest is the top ridge of the pelvic bone.
What is tibial spiking?
Tibial spiking (spurring of tibial spines), is considered as one of the features of osteoarthritis. The other two are eburnation, and osteophytes.
What four veins serve the leg?
femoral, posterior tibial, anterior tibial
Three veins serving the leg?
anterior tibial, femoral, posterior tibialfemoral, posterior tibial, anterior tibial
Point where the patellar ligament attaches?
The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.
What contributes to the formation of the popliteal vein?
The popliteal vein carries blood from the knee to the thigh and calf muscles and ultimately to the heart. The vein is formed from the merging of the two posterior tibial veins and ends as it merges in to the femoral vein.
Artery serves the posterior thigh?
I believe that is the Femoral artery.
Three arteries serving the leg inferior to the knee?
anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peroneal
Among the prominent bone marking of the tibia are the?
The anterior crest is prominent bone feature on the tibia. It is often called the shin.
Where is Tibial artery located?
The tibial artery is located in the lower leg and is divided into two main branches: the anterior tibial artery and the posterior tibial artery. The anterior tibial artery runs along the front of the leg and supplies blood to the anterior compartment, while the posterior tibial artery runs along the back, supplying blood to the posterior compartment. Both branches originate from the popliteal artery, which is located behind the knee.
What does Tibial nerve do?
Tibial nerves main function is to plantar flex and invert the foot
