What bone is distal to the femur?
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
What are four bones that are distal to the femur?
There are only two that are actually distal: the tibia and the fibula.
Distal femur subperiosteal abscess icd-9?
The ICD-9 code for a distal femur subperiosteal abscess is 730.28.
Is the femur distal to the tarsals?
Yes, the femur is proximal to the tarsals. The femur is the long bone in the thigh, which is closer to the trunk of the body, while the tarsals are the bones in the foot, which are distal to the femur.
What covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia?
The meniscus covers the distal surface of the femur where it meets the tibia. This cartilage provides smooth movement and shock absorption.
What is the name of the joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia that the patella overlaps?
The joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia where the patella overlaps is called the knee joint. It is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension of the leg.
Is the knee cap deep to the femur?
The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.
What is cpt code 27508 mean?
CPT code 27508 refers to the surgical procedure involving the open treatment of a femoral fracture, specifically for a distal femur fracture. This code is used to describe the surgical intervention that may include the use of internal fixation methods, such as plates or screws, to stabilize the bone. It is typically employed when non-surgical methods are insufficient for proper healing.
Where is the intercondylar fossa located?
between the condyles on the distal end of the femur, on its posterior aspect.
The femur joins with the tibia at its distal end and fits into what at its proximal end?
The femur fits into the acetabulum at its proximal end.
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form which joint carpal stifle elbow hip?
The distal end of the femur and the proximal ends of the tibia and fibula form the knee joint, also known as the stifle joint in animals.
What portion of the femur bone helps make up the knee cap?
the portion of the femur bone that helps makes up the knee cap is considered what
