  • In particular, Welles (1984) illustrated the left hand of the holotype of D. wetherilli in postures that he considered to represent full flexion and full hyperextension, and he gave ROM estimates for some joints within the manus as well as for the shoulder and elbow. (palaeo-electronica.org)
  • Different fore- vs hindlimb patterns are also seen for anatomical network complexity (i.e., complexity in the arrangement of bones and muscles). (nature.com)
  • In contrast, modularity and integration among other features of the limb musculoskeletal system, including for example the presence/absence of muscles, and the physical connections among bones and muscles, have yet to be comprehensively investigated, in part because these features are not amenable to the same types of quantitative analyses as morphometric traits.

  • The distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints are involved only in the presence of a coexisting MCP or PIP disease. (medscape.com)
  • As a rule, the distal interphalangeal joints are spared. (radiopaedia.org)
  • The first joint close to the knuckle joint is called the proximal interphalangeal joint or PIP joint. (pamelalevinemd.com)
  • The joint closest to the end of the finger is called the distal interphalangeal joint or DIP joint. (pamelalevinemd.com)
  • The hands are affected symmetrically, and the disease process is usually visible first at the second and third MCP joints and the third PIP joint. (medscape.com)
  • The disease continues in the remainder of the MCP and PIP joints. (medscape.com)
  • Although occasional flares of joint pain occur throughout the course of the disease, these can usually be controlled with the use of anti-inflammatory medication, especially early in their course. (medscape.com)
  • Results -Osteochondral fragmentation induced significant increases in various variables indicative of joint pain and disease. (avma.org)
  • The disease tends to affect the proximal joints in a bilaterally symmetrical distribution. (radiopaedia.org)
  • NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is a potential novel therapy for fibrogenesis imperfecta ossium (FIO), a very rare but disabling and ultimately fatal bone disease, a small study from India suggests. (medscape.com)
  • He appeared to have a family history of FIO, his mother and maternal uncle having died of a "disabling bone disease. (medscape.com)

  • Anatomic factors like a smaller or bigger carpal tunnel, a wrist fracture, injury, or a dislocation can change the space within the tunnel. (healthhype.com)
  • A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx , F x , or # ) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. (wikipedia.org)
  • In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture . (wikipedia.org)
  • [1] A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress , or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis , osteopenia , bone cancer , or osteogenesis imperfecta , where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture .
