Tibia

but that can be the cause of birth defects and other accidental causes. The mandible was quite v-shaped and rounded. The tibia of this person was next on the list. The maximum epiphyseal breadth (MPB){ of the proximal tibia was 62mm which was less than average for a female and for the MPB distal tibia it was 40mm which was also less than average for females. The humerus maximum length was 310mm which was around the range of a female. The epicondylar width of the humerus was 52mm and that was a bit less than the female average. All of the humerus measurements were less than average for a female. With all of this information, we made a final conclusion that this was a female. Next we needed to find out the race of this person to determine who they actually were. We first took a look at the nose. The nasal index was .45 and we found that by taking the nasal width divided by the nasal height (20/44). The nasal spine seemed to be prominent, the nasal guttering did not seem to have a ridge, the prognathism was prognatic, and the shape of the eye openings were rounded and somewhat square. Then height had to had to be determined buy using the maximum length of the tibia and humerus. Since we have concluded this person is a white female we used the equation for Caucasian females which was 2.9(MLT) + 61.53 +/- 3.66 and got a range of 162.27cm-169.51 using the tibia. With the humerus we used the equation 3.36(MLH) + 57.97 +/- 4.45 and got a range of 154.32cm-163.22cm. Then the…

Tibial Tubercle Avulsion Fracture, Pediatric A tibial tubercle avulsion fracture is a break in the shin bone (tibia), just below the front of the knee joint (tibial tubercle). The tibial tubercle is where the tendon of the thigh muscle (quadriceps) attaches. Adolescents have a growth plate in this area. A growth plate is a spot where bone is still growing. It is not as solid as mature bone. As a result, this type of fracture is most common in people who are between 12 and 16 years of age. A…

Your tibia is a very hard bone to break. Most broken tibias are caused by strong collisions, such as vehicle crashes, and sports injuries. In the majority of the cases involving a broken tibia, it is often very noticeable. Some symptoms include unbearable pain, inability to walk, deformity or instability of the leg, bone “tenting” the skin, bones protruding through the skin and the loss of feeling in the lower extremity in which the injury occurred. After the break of the tibia, you should seek…

The knee joint is classified as a type of synovial joint, which is one of the most common and complex joints found in the human body. The knee is a meeting point for the femur, fibula, tibia, and the patella. In order to maintain its flexibility and function, several other ligaments join the knee joint in order to keep the attaching bones in place. The knee is the joint where the femur and the tibia meet; the patella (kneecap) is made of bone and sits in front of the knee. The knee joint is a…
