Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

9.3K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

3.7K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

14.9K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.7K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

    Summary

    Ischiofemoral impingement, a cause of hip pain, occurs when the space between the ischial tuberosity and lesser trochanter narrows. This report details a rare case in a young male caused by a lesser trochanteric exostosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) is a hip pain condition typically affecting middle-aged women.
    • It stems from reduced space between the ischial tuberosity and lesser trochanter.

    Observation:

    • This study presents a rare case of IFI in a young male patient.
    • The condition was caused by a solitary exostosis (bony outgrowth) on the lesser trochanter.

    Findings:

    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is crucial for diagnosing IFI.
    • MRI reveals narrowing of the ischiofemoral space and edema in the quadratus femoris muscle.

    Implications:

    • This case broadens the understanding of IFI demographics and etiology.
    • Highlights the diagnostic utility of MRI in complex hip pain presentations.
    • Suggests considering bony abnormalities as a cause of IFI in younger individuals.
