Medial Collateral Ligament, Knee
Collateral Ligaments
Ligaments, Articular
Fibrous cords of CONNECTIVE TISSUE that attach bones to each other and hold together the many types of joints in the body. Articular ligaments are strong, elastic, and allow movement in only specific directions, depending on the individual joint.
Ligaments
Anterior Cruciate Ligament
A strong ligament of the knee that originates from the posteromedial portion of the lateral condyle of the femur, passes anteriorly and inferiorly between the condyles, and attaches to the depression in front of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia.
Knee Injuries
Neoplasms, Post-Traumatic
Joint Instability
Lack of stability of a joint or joint prosthesis. Factors involved are intra-articular disease and integrity of extra-articular structures such as joint capsule, ligaments, and muscles.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament
A strong ligament of the knee that originates from the anterolateral surface of the medial condyle of the femur, passes posteriorly and inferiorly between the condyles, and attaches to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia.
Collateral Circulation
Osteoarthritis, Knee
Noninflammatory degenerative disease of the knee joint consisting of three large categories: conditions that block normal synchronous movement, conditions that produce abnormal pathways of motion, and conditions that cause stress concentration resulting in changes to articular cartilage. (Crenshaw, Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics, 8th ed, p2019)
Biomechanical Phenomena
Stifle
In horses, cattle, and other quadrupeds, the joint between the femur and the tibia, corresponding to the human knee.
Range of Motion, Articular
Knee
A region of the lower extremity immediately surrounding and including the KNEE JOINT.
Hindlimb
Cartilage, Articular
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee
Replacement of the knee joint.
Rabbits
Periodontal Ligament
Knee Prosthesis
Replacement for a knee joint.
