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.

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.
An avulsion fracture due to violent contraction of the flexor and pronator muscles that attach to the medial epicondyle, such as that which occurs in arm wrestling (see image below). Medial condyle fracture caused by traction through flexor pronator origin.
