This bony prominence, known as the tibial tubercle (or tibial tuberosity), is located where the patellar tendon meets the upper end of the tibia (shinbone). The condition affects physically active, ...

The tibial tubercle is a bony protrusion anterior to the upper end of the tibia, where the quadriceps tendon attaches under the patella. This anatomical structure is not a favored site for ...

By tendon injury, she means tendinitis, and posterior tibialis tendinitis can sometimes be mistaken for Achilles tendinitis. “Tendinitis occurs when a tendon is overloaded, and muscle weakness is a ...

MINNEAPOLIS — New York Mets center fielder Jose Siri was diagnosed Monday with a fractured left tibia, which he sustained on Saturday in West Sacramento, Calif., when he fouled a pitch off his ...

Tibial tunnel-related arthrosynovial cysts are subcutaneous swellings located on the anteromedial aspect of the proximal end of the tibia, opposite the tibia’s extra-articular orifice, and may occur ...

Conclusions The present study clarifies that the popliteal vessels are at risk of injury during tibial tubercle screw fixation, particularly when drilling the proximal tibial epiphysis. Monocortical ...

Figure 2. Sagittal and coronal cuts of CT of tibia 5 months after injury are shown demonstrating nondisplaced proximal tibial fracture nonunion hardware.

A TTA involves a small incision in the dog’s tibial tuberosity, and then repositioning of the tibia itself. This will help the ligaments better align with the dog’s patella.

The tibial tuberosity was then advanced using both 6 mm and 9 mm cages, and the specimen was tested using the identical technique. Each specimen was loaded to failure by increasing the load applied to ...

To avoid iatrogenic fracture of the tibial tuberosity during hole drilling from the tibial tuberosity to the caudal cortex of the proximal portion of the tibia, drill bit sizes were sequentially ...
