In a 2001 survey of stress fractures in theropods, one toe bone from indeterminate ornithomimids out of fifteen examined was found to have a stress fracture. None of the eight finger bones examined was found to have a stress fracture. [11] Ornithomimus and Archaeornithomimus showed a significantly lower number of stress fractures than ...
Elongation of the cerebellar tonsils can, due to pressure, lead to this portion of the cerebellum to slip or be pushed through the foramen magnum of the skull resulting in tonsillar herniation. This is a life-threatening condition as it causes increased pressure on the medulla oblongata which contains respiratory and cardiac control centres.
A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced bone fracture caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated injury from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping. Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are common overuse injuries in athletes. [1]
Cerebellar tonsillar ectopia, aka Chiari malformation, a herniation of the brain through the foramen magnum, which may be congenital or caused by trauma. Ectopic cilia , a hair growing where it isn't supposed to be, commonly an eyelash on an abnormal spot on the eyelid, distichia
intra-articular fracture of base of Thumb metacarpal: axial load along metacarpal in a partially flexed thumb: Bennett's fracture at Whonamedit? Bosworth fracture: David M. Bosworth: fracture of distal fibula with posterior dislocation of the proximal fibula behind the tibia: severe external rotation of the foot "Bosworth fracture dislocation ...
In neurology, the Chiari malformation (/ k i ˈ ɑː r i / kee-AR-ee; CM) is a structural defect in the cerebellum, characterized by a downward displacement of one or both cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum (the opening at the base of the skull).
Fractures of big toes make up about a fifth [3] or third [8] of all toe fractures, and 5.5% of all foot and ankle fractures in major US trauma hospitals. [10] Toe fractures are the most common foot fractures. [8] About 20% of broken toes involve open wounds. [10]
An accessory salivary gland is ectopic salivary gland tissue with a salivary gland duct system. [3] The most common location of accessory salivary gland tissue is an extra major salivary gland in front of the parotid gland.
