1. Medial Compartment 2. Lateral Compartment 3. Patello-Femoral Compartment
Relations of the vascular and neural compartment in pterygomaxillary fissure?
the vascular compartment is lateral to the neural compartment
What is the relationship between vascular compartment and neural compartment in pterygomaxillary fissure?
vascular compartment is lateral to nerual compartment
What are the muscle compartments in the ankle?
anterior compartment, lateral compartment, superficial posterior, deep posterior
What does patellofemoral mean?
Patellofemoral means related to the joint between the kneecap and thighbone.
What is lateral patellofemoral joint chondral loss?
Overuse, injury or other factors may lead to a condition known as chondromalacia patella, a general term indicating damage to the cartilage under your kneecap. A more accurate term for chondromalacia patella is patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Where is the patellofemoral joint found?
The patellofemoral joint is found in the knee, between the kneecap and thighbone.
Who first diagnosed Chondromalacia?
1928 - Büdinger 3 first described retropatellar cartilage changes, but it was Aleman 1 who introduced the term chondromalacia in 1928. Chondromalacia has been used improperly to describe the syndrome of patellofemoral pain. Articular cartilage degeneration is just one ...Büdinger first described retropatellar cartilage changes, but it was Aleman who introduced the term chondromalacia in 1928. Chondromalacia has been used improperly to describe the syndrome of patellofemoral pain. Articular cartilage degeneration is just one of the many possible causes of patellofemoral pain. Chondromalacia actually means "soft cartilage" and is a pathologic description of changes seen on articular cartilage. Many authors have developed classification (source Google Search)
What is bilateral patello-femoral degenerative?
Patellofemoral arthritis may be a process leads to its degeneration. Patellofemoral arthritis may occur when the artcular cartilage along the troclear groove and on the underside of the patella wears down and become inflamated. When the cartilage wears away it becomes frayrd and when the wear is severe, the underlying bone may become exposed. Movement of the bones, along this rough surface is painful. There may have oedema.
Left lateral recess?
The left lateral recess refers to a condition whereby the narrowing reduces the available space within the exit doorway of the spinal canal. The left lateral recess may be caused by the arthritic overgrowth of the facet joints of the degeneration of the disc with the loss of the disc height.
What are two different joints found in the knee including the bone marking and movements produced by these movements?
The two joints are the tibiofemoral and the patellofemoral joints. The tibiofemoral joint is formed by the distal end of the femur particularly the lateral and medial femoral condyles, and the proximal end of the tibia particularly the lateral and medial tibial plateaus. Movements available at this joint are flexion & extension, internal & external rotation. The patellofemoral joint is formed by the articulation between the trochlea of the femur and the articular surfaces of the patella. Movements available at this joint are basically gliding movements that accompany tibiofemoral joint movements, namely; superior, inferior, lateral & medial gliding.
Where is the peroneal artery located?
It's a branch of the posterior tibal artery. It lies in the lateral compartment of the calf
