Fractures of the mandible are common. However, coronoid process fractures are very rare. [1] Isolated fractures of the coronoid process caused by direct trauma are rare, as it is anatomically protected by the complex zygomatic arch/ temporo-zygomatic bone and their associated muscles.
Its base is continuous with the body of the bone, and of considerable strength. [1] Its apex is pointed, slightly curved upward, and in flexion of the forearm is received into the coronoid fossa of the humerus. Its upper surface is smooth, convex, and forms the lower part of the semilunar notch.
From the inner surface of this plate and the compact layer below it trabeculae arch forward toward the olecranon and coronoid and cross other trabeculae, passing backward over the medullary cavity from the upper part of the shaft below the coronoid. Below the coronoid process there is a small area of compact bone from which trabeculae curve ...
Rarely they may be due to osteonecrosis or tumors in the bone. [1] The most common area of fracture is at the condyle (36%), body (21%), angle (20%) and symphysis (14%). [1] Rarely the fracture may occur at the ramus (3%) or coronoid process (2%). While a diagnosis can occasionally be made with plain X-ray, modern CT scans are more accurate. [1]
The tuberosity of the ulna is a rough eminence on the proximal end of the ulna.It occurs at the junction of the antero-inferior surface of the coronoid process with the front of the body.
In anatomy, a process (Latin: processus) is a projection or outgrowth of tissue from a larger body. [1] For instance, in a vertebra, a process may serve for muscle attachment and leverage (as in the case of the transverse and spinous processes), or to fit (forming a synovial joint), with another vertebra (as in the case of the articular processes). [2]
The pronounced coronoid process is labeled "cp". coronoid process The coronoid process is a bony projection that extends upwards from the upper surface of the lower jaw behind the tooth row. This process serves as an attachment site for muscles that close the jaw; a higher coronoid process increases the lever arm of these muscles, and thus the ...
Anatomical terms of bone [ edit on Wikidata ] Superior to the anterior portion of the trochlea is a small depression, the coronoid fossa , which receives the coronoid process of the ulna during flexion of the forearm .
