Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

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...

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...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

This case report details a rare instance of bilateral calcific myonecrosis in a 73-year-old woman, presenting as symptomatic masses in her thighs. Treatment involving surgical excision and tenotomy significantly improved her range of motion and reduced pain.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Soft Tissue Pathology

Background:

Calcific myonecrosis is a rare soft-tissue disease characterized by central liquefaction and peripheral calcification within a muscle compartment.
Typically, it affects a single limb following trauma, with no prior reports of bilateral muscle involvement.

Keywords:

Oncology calcific myonecrosis infection tumor
