The term mesentery is used for the small intestine; and mesenteric organ is sometimes used to refer to the rest of the mesentery that incorporates the mesocolon, mesoappendix, mesosigmoid and mesorectum. It has been proposed for reclassification as an organ due to research at the University of Limerick in the 2010s.
Tibial Tubercle Avulsion Fracture. Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures occur when the tendon between the kneecap and shinbone (patellar tendon) causes a complete or incomplete break of the shinbone just below the knee joint (tibial tubercle). The tibial tubercle is where the tendon of the thigh muscle (quadriceps) attaches.
1 An avulsion fracture of the tip of the lateral tibial condyle. 2  The fracture is a consequence of knee joint injury and is therefore included here, although technically the fracture itself is not within the joint. 3  More than 75% are associated with a tear of the ACL. 4  Associated meniscal tearing is common (66-75%).
