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...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

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...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Arteries of Lower Limbs01:20

Arteries of Lower Limbs

6.1K
The external iliac artery transitions out of the body cavity, entering the femoral region of the lower leg, and is renamed the femoral artery at the point where it traverses the body wall. This artery is responsible for the distribution of blood to the thigh's deep muscles and the skin's ventral and lateral regions, achieved through several minor branches and the lateral deep femoral artery, which also spawns a lateral circumflex artery. The knee area receives blood from the genicular...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Hip pain diagnosis can be challenging, especially with subtle radiographic findings in conditions like acetabular dysplasia or post-arthroplasty.
  • Increasingly sophisticated hip preservation and joint replacement surgeries necessitate precise quantitative imaging assessments.
  • Variations in measurement techniques across institutions can lead to unfamiliarity among musculoskeletal radiologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive guide to common hip measurements used in hip preservation and replacement surgery.
  • To standardize understanding of measurement techniques, appropriate imaging modalities, and normal values.
  • To aid clinicians in diagnosing subtle hip abnormalities and guiding treatment decisions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature to identify common hip measurements.
  • Description of proper imaging views and measurement techniques for each parameter.
  • Compilation of established normal values and discussion of implications for abnormal findings.

Main Results:

  • Detailed explanation of frequently used clinical measurements for hip preservation and replacement.
  • Brief descriptions of less common or research-oriented measurements with imaging examples.
  • Categorization of measurements by anatomy and pathology for clarity.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized quantitative assessment of hip imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • This article serves as a foundational resource for understanding key hip measurements.
  • Consistent application of these measurements can improve patient outcomes in hip surgery.
