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.
Its proximal end (tibial tubercle) has a growth plate separate from the proximal tibia; hyperflexion injuries to the stifle may result in avulsion of this growth plate in dogs, seen in radiographs as a dorsal displacement of the tibial tubercle and patella. tibial dyschondroplasia. a disease of broiler chickens and turkeys caused by a combination of dietary and genetic factors and characterized by dyschondroplasia in the proximal end of the tibiotarsal bone.
