Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

4.4K
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...

Fractures: Bone Repair

4.3K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

3.1K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints01:07

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

1.9K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

6.2K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

3.6K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Orthopedics
  • Small Animal Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Physeal injuries are frequent in developing small animals.
  • These injuries can lead to significant forelimb growth disturbances and deformities.
  • Deformities include limb shortening, joint incongruity, and angulation, potentially causing osteoarthritis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significance of physeal injuries in small animal forelimb development.
  • To underscore the antebrachium's role in malalignment due to physeal disturbance.
  • To emphasize the requirements for successful deformity correction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of physeal injury consequences in small animals.
  • Analysis of antebrachium's contribution to forelimb malalignment.
  • Identification of key factors for surgical correction planning.

Main Results:

  • Physeal injuries commonly result in forelimb deformities.
  • The antebrachium's paired bone structure is a primary source of malalignment.
  • Successful correction necessitates understanding physeal activity and quantifying deformities.

Conclusions:

  • Forelimb deformities from physeal injuries pose a significant clinical challenge.
  • Accurate assessment of deformity location, magnitude, and plane is crucial for surgical success.
  • A thorough understanding of normal physeal function and patient signalment is essential for effective treatment.
