What is a Scaphoid Fracture? A scaphoid fracture is a break in the scaphoid bone, a small, boat-shaped bone in the wrist, located near the base of the thumb. The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone, and it is more likely to occur in young children and the elderly than in the distal…
The patellofemoral joint is a unique and complex structure composed of static (bones and ligaments) and dynamic (the neuromuscular system) elements. The patella is shaped like a triangle, having an inferiorly oriented tip. The primary articulating surfaces of the patellofemoral joint are the trochlea and the distal articulating surface of the femur, with which it articulates superiorly. Introduction The patellar surface of the femur and the posterior surface of the patella articulate to produce…
