Abstract

Case:

We report the cases of 15-year-old male fraternal twins with bilateral osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum in the absence of syndromic features. At the time of presentation, they had been actively engaged in competitive rhythmic gymnastics for 3 years. Both patients had chronic symptoms in the right elbow, and both underwent arthroscopic evaluation and management.

Conclusion:

The cases of these 2 patients provide evidence to support the theory that the etiology of OCD may have a genetic background.

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...
