[27] [28] The anterior approach is often recommended instead of the posterior approach in cases where only single segments of the vertebrae are affected and in the event that there is no destruction or collapse of the posterior elements. [28]
They are classified as anterior, posterior, inferior, and superior with most being anterior. [2] [1] Treatment is by shoulder reduction which may be accomplished by a number of techniques. [1] These include traction-countertraction, external rotation, scapular manipulation, and the Stimson technique. [1]
The anterior and posterior horns of both menisci are secured to the tibial plateaus. Anteriorly, the transverse ligament connects the 2 menisci; posteriorly, the meniscofemoral ligament helps stabilize the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus to the femoral condyle. The coronary ligaments connect the peripheral meniscal rim loosely to the tibia.
Another option first described by Kodkani et al in 2004, a minimally invasive technique for harvesting from the back of the knee (Posterior Mini-incision), is faster, produces a significantly smaller wound, avoids the complications of graft harvesting from the anterior incision, and decreases the risk of nerve injury.
It is directed lateral and medially and slightly posterior. In the adult it is about 2–4 cm lower than the femoral head. [1] Because the pelvic outlet in the female is larger than in the male, there is a greater distance between the greater trochanters in the female. It has two surfaces and four borders. It is a traction epiphysis. [2]
The posterior chamber consists of small space directly posterior to the iris but anterior to the lens. The posterior chamber is part of the anterior segment [1] and should not be confused with the vitreous chamber (in the posterior segment). Posterior chamber is an important structure involved in production and circulation of aqueous humor ...
No muscles are directly involved in this injury, only ligaments; However, strengthening the hip flexor and hip extensor muscles may help alleviate the injury. The medial collateral ligament , posterior cruciate ligament , anterior cruciate ligament , and lateral collateral ligament are the four primary ligaments of the knee.
The anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) is a bony eminence on the anterior border of the hip bone, or, more precisely, the wing of the ilium. Structure [ edit ]
