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.
It gives attachment to the patellar ligament or patellar tendon. The Osgood-Schlatter disease is localized at the tibial tubercle at the anterior side of the knee, but only in an adoslecent knee. At this tibial tubercle the pain can be felt by the patient, in most of the times unilateral, but more frequently also bilaterally. The patellar tendon attaches to the tibial tuberosity inferior to the patella.
