  2. Patella fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patella_fracture

    Even some displaced fractures can be treated with casting as long as a person can straighten their leg without help. [2] Typically the leg is immobilized in a straight position for the first three weeks and then increasing degrees of bending are allowed. [2] Other types of fractures generally require surgery. [2] [4]

  3. Tibial plateau fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial_plateau_fracture

    The knee anatomy provides insight into predicting why certain fracture patterns occur more often than others. The medial plateau is larger and significantly stronger than the lateral plateau. Also, there is a natural valgus or outward angulation alignment to the limb which coupled with the often valgus or outwardly angulating force on impact ...

  4. Lateral condyle of femur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_condyle_of_femur

    The osteochondral fracture occurs on the weight-bearing portion of the lateral condyle. Typically, the condyle will fracture (and the patella may dislocate) as a result of severe impaction from activities such as downhill skiing and parachuting. [1] Open reduction and internal fixation surgery is typically used to repair an osteochondral fracture.

  5. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...

  6. Bipartite patella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartite_patella

    Bipartite patella is a condition where the patella, or kneecap, is composed of two separate bones.Instead of fusing together as normally occurs in early childhood, the bones of the patella remain separated. [1]

  7. Segond fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segond_fracture

    Originally described by Dr. Paul Segond in 1879 [6] [7] after a series of cadaveric experiments, the Segond fracture occurs in association with tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) (75–100%) and injury to the medial meniscus (66–75%), lateral capsular ligament (now known as the Anterolateral ligament, or ALL), as well as injury to the structures behind the knee.

  9. Avascular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avascular_necrosis

    Risk factors include bone fractures, joint dislocations, alcoholism, and the use of high-dose steroids. [1] The condition may also occur without any clear reason. [1] The most commonly affected bone is the femur (thigh bone). [1] Other relatively common sites include the upper arm bone, knee, shoulder, and ankle. [1]
